| Comment | For First bus:
Trips of up to 5 stops distance = £1.70
Trips over 5 stops = £2.50
That's just First Bus though, the pricing is different for each bus company.
It's a complete mess by the way. Drivers might be watching how many stops you stay on for, but they've got other things to concentrate on that they're probably not paying attention. It's such a bizarre, old fashioned system.
I've seen drivers pull up passengers for travelling further than a £1.70 ticket allows, but it rarely happens.
Also, I wouldn't rely on drivers knowing anything about your route. They might, but it's not something I'd presume.
I'd much rather it was a simple flat far for any journeys. The amount of travel time that's wasted in Glasgow through people negotiating their ticket purchase with the driver is mental. I can't get my head around why they still operate the ticketing like this. |
