They will mean that day tickets will be valid across the whole of Greater Manchester (hopefully, there will be a link in between Bolton and Salford/Manchester as a result of this) and will mean that ticket prices in Bolton/Wigan will drop as follows:
*Day: £4.40 -> £4.20
*Weekly: £17.50 -> £13.50
*4-Weekly: £61 -> £47
*Annual: £610 -> £470.

Sadly, some single fares will go up 10p or 20p but the maximum single fare will be £3.20 with all single fares currently above that reduced to £3.20.

Is this a precursor to a revision of services , giving both the Stagecoach and First operations more to think about .
