Sheff2006 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Im sure the rules in conditions of carriage are that public transport tickets are non-transferable. Regarding the cheap fares of old though (yes they really did exist!), here's what it says in the back of my 1985 SYPTE timetable book: Children at 5 and under 16 years: Adult Fare not exceeding 15p = Child Fare 2p Adult Fare above 15p = Child Fare 4p I can remember often getting away with 5p fares on Syt when I was too old around 1989...those were the days!

Plain Talker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 there was a above 15p? 4p fare? i thought 15 was the maximum? one end of town to the other if we travelled out of the city boundary, to, say, my auntie's in South Anston, it was 16p for my mother, and 4p each for me and my sister. It was 7p from the stop outside our house to town, for my mum and 2p for us, but if we walked a hundred yards or so, to the next stop (nearer town) it was 6p. I remember, up to about 1973/4 (When SYT {?} took over the bus service), I paid a penny bus fare to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have always shared tickets,its like council car parks, always used to leave my ticket on the pay booth, but council got round that by you having to put in your car reg!!!!.If it helps anyone to save money, don't see what it hurts, because lets face it, people who do park, or travel correctly, are usually honest people. Yeah Jules i used to do that. The council now get paid twice for the same parking space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
