Hi new to these boards. Wanted to raise the issue of buses ticket prices that have rocketed recently. Unbelievable ho much they expect you too pay. Going to work in town now costs me around £35 per week, and I can;t claim that. Really disappointed to say the least.


Does anyone know a reason for it? Thanks
