I personally tend to carry a fairly decent float (at least £10 in coins in my box with other coins/notes in my jacket/bag) so can usually always give correct change but it can be an issue sometimes if you gets a lot getting on all with £2 for a £1.10 fare and having to find 90p each time for the change!

Merseytravel posters have gone up on most of the Arriva buses in birkenhead advertising the changes, whether people will actually look at them however is a different matter! £1.20 is still reasonable though! If I buy a £1.10 ticket I always pay exact fare where I can, and if not, i'll still offer the 10p to make giving change easier!
