I travelled by bus in Mojacar, Spain in 2013. The route it took was approx. 45 mins round trip, and ran up the mountains to a small town. That was 1euro flat fare, which I think worked out at approx. 80 british pence per journey!

Massive disparities in fares, or at least in so much as I have experienced. The best was 25c flat fare (a small town circular), another was $1 flat through the centre of San Francisco and the worst was $7 for a 5 mile journey through the outskirts of Oakland.

I have noticed this old trolley bus design that was mentioned. A relatively new vehicle reminded me of the old Ikarus Citibuses - very limited seating inside as well, and not a lot of space to hold on for standees. It is really strange over here! Still bamboozled each time I use public transport; including getting on a regional train which drove down an actual main road high-street, even stopping at a red light!
