Bus Fares

I have heard people from Southern England commenting that our bus and train fares are dirt cheap.
They sure are cheap in Merseyside! In Doncaster, fares are very expensive - and, when I stayed there, First offered a poor evening service. By poor, I mean the majority of evening services were regularly cancelled and passengers, like myself, were FORCED to walk home (from Doncaster to Scawthorpe, in my case). I didn't keep spare taxi money during my day! If I remember correctly, it was about £4.00-ish for a fare from Scawthorpe to Doncaster - equivalent to a journey from, say, Old Swan to Liverpool...

I'll be honest - we're quite lucky in Merseyside to have so many services funded by Merseytravel. We're also lucky to have a flat fare system. Overall, a structured system could result in higher overall fares (depending on how the companies structured them). The increases may seem unfair, but they're actually not too bad (in comparison to Doncaster!).
