Happ Hazzard Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I pay full fare and it's disgusting that so many other people get on free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Bus drivers- just wondered what rough proportion of people pay a fare as it seems all sorts of people can now get free passes for this and that A lot of people buy monthly tickets if they use the buses to commute to and from work. People using them will appear to be getting on for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I got on a bus yesterday, and the driver told me he had no change before I even tried to pay... He would have had to give me 20p back. Then every stop he just told people he had no change, and to go and sit down. One student wanted a 60p fare, and bus driver said he had no change. The student then got back off. Driver shouted "Did I tell you to get off? Sit down I'll take you to town". Student said "Oh no but I'm going to hillsborough pal!" Driver just said,"Well, I can do that as well" I was expecting to have to pay my £2.80 when I got off, but no, because he hadn't taken any money from anyone all the way, he still had no change. Weird experience. He didn't even attempt to take anyones money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I pay a different fares for the same journey on the same route. As much as £2.10, or as little as £1.40. The fare stages printed on the ticket rarely coincide with reality. The time printed on the ticket is often correct though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, been charged £1.70 for a £1 fare before, 3 stops up the hill, when its £1.70 to town! He didn't change his fare stage from Highfield library all the way up to Woodseats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshlad Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It is about time university students were made to pay full fare. They are adults after all. Only pensioners should get free fares and school children should get reduced fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't change his fare stage from Highfield library all the way up to Woodseats Their ticket machines are now apparently GPS enabled, which might explain it.
