ANE price increases from next weekend.
RE: Pricing - Malarkey - 28 Apr 2019
For those unaware the "Explorer" ticket went up today from £10.50 to £10.90, driver who issued mine on the 21 was completely unaware of the increase along with a driver on the X10 when he issued one to a passenger boarding at Dalton Park this morning.

I see the Day Rover has increased from £7.50 to £7.80. Were the Explorer tickets issued to you and the other passenger for the old price or the new one, as the drivers were unaware of the increase?

The driver, whether aware or not of a price change, has to issue the ticket at the price set in the machine (which should always be the correct price!)

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, if the machine has the wrong price we have a real problem! Are Go North East increasing their fares too? Arriva, Stagecoach and Network One have all increased their prices.

I guess that Arriva are unaware that the explorer went up, today, because I got mine for £10.50, on the 64, this morning, same as yesterday.

Imagine if that £122m went directly to the treasury and was reinvested across the country? Either with new vehicles, the police, NHS or in social care?
Stagecoach’s regional UK bus operations reported an operating profit of £122.9m
RE: Pricing - Multi21 - 06 May 2019
I could be wrong but I'm sure arriva machines haven't been changed in regards to the explorers... I issued one on Friday for 10.50. I'll check Ticketer when I go in

Anyone know what the single fare is on the 131 from Eldon Square to Cowgate?
