| Comment | My girlfriend recently tried to get an answer to exactly this question through various official First Bus social media channels and every one of them said they had no idea and only the drivers would be able to comment. The fact they're not too embarrassed to publicly admit they don't even understand their own ticket prices is fucking shocking enough in itself but it's also horseshit: the drivers themselves have no clue either.
Previously I thought the same as the consensus here that anything longer than a few stops was the £2.40 fare. If you go onto the website though it'll only ever quote you the £1.65 fare for a single adult ticket within the City zone. I realise it says 'from' that price, but if they're then never going to try and explain what that means then fuck them, I'm going to take that as the charge. So, these days I just get on the bus and always ask for a £1.65 ticket and don't bother playing their stupid games. If they ever see fit up put even this basic required info up on their website I'll maybe reconsider that. But I strongly suspect that all this obfuscation is done on purpose so people will accidentally buy more expensive tickets than they need so I'll probably just keep asking for a cheaper ticket regardless. Fucking shower of pricks. |
