New tickets prices

[Rob44]

If you've still got the ticket absolutely, send some evidence and hopefully they can try and figure out why it happened.

TBH there isnt even  a bus number, a date, a driver number etc on the ticket.  Just the QR code and the GNE logo on the top.  I managed to get everywhere i wanted to go ( the pub) so i'm not that bothered although i will check my ticket straight away the next time i by a all day one with any operator

Was out in town last night. Had a few beers and decided to get bus from north end of high level bridge to gateshead metro. The cost???? 1.90???

You saved 10p, Kudos to the driver in question as the large majority would've charged you £2.

so is the 1.90 a fare? as i sometime if I'm hung over get the bus from the penthousre to the metro and it can only be 3 stops and they always charge me £2??

Because it's £1.90 from Newcastle to Gateshead Interchange. It's £2 for anywhere else in the rest of the journey, including from Gateshead Interchange to Jackson Street, that would be £2.

For all it's easy to think of it as a '£2 flat fare'; it's actually a £2 fare cap. If any single fare is less than £2 you should still be charged the lower fare, assuming the operator is participating.

[F114TML]

Yup. Get on a Stagecoach bus and you can still get the £1.40 and £1.80 singles.

I see that some of the company vehicles have new vinyls on the nearside window by the entrance door showing the range of fares and day tickets, which is the first time the £3.00. 21 & under Day tickets have been advertised onboard buses since the introduction of it last year.

no sign of the tany and wear day ticket at £^, just the region wide one at £6.80.  An no matter how i try the adert foir these tickets still suggest you need to but the £6.80 one to use the ferry metro and train rather than the £6 one

£6.80 has no restrictions and is not limited to only Tyne and Wear ,where as the £6.00 is a popular ticket, but the amount of people who have this ticket and try to travel into Country Durham is quite high , they then have to pay a minimum of £2. , so it's then cost them in total £8.
So for an extra 80p it's the better ticket (region wide) , "I offer the £6.80 first when people ask for a day ticket to travel on buses, metro, ferry and train (Sunderland to Blaydon line)

[MurdnunoC]

I've managed to buy the £6 Tyne and Wear ticket (as well as the £6.80 regionwide one) on multiple occasions so I don't understand what the problem is in procuring it?

[Ambassador]

If I was Nexus - I'd be tempted to axe the Day Rover and lower the regionwide one to £6.50

TNE Day Saver (means very little to anyone) and Day Rover just sound really archaic branding names too that mean little to Customers.

The whole thing is a mess and it's not just the Rover. 

imo they need one set of zones which the Metro, Network, Northern Rail and TNE all use and have a set of prices of all 3. 

Then has a Bus Only, Metro + Train Only and All Models for respective zones. Other places like London can seem to manage it with Oyster but as per usual the North East has to have numerous different systems for the hell of it.

It's not as if the Metro zones are miles off where things are now. They could easily just have the new Zone D for the whole of Northumberland outside the border areas which should be in Zone C and do similar at the other side with the likes of Chester Le Street, Seaham and Piston in Zone C and the rest in Zone D and even a further outer Zone E.

If someone wants to go on a magical mystery tour trying to get from Berwick to Barnard Castle in only Zone D then good on them.

Going back to my post regarding side vinyls, I see NONE of Sunderland (Deptford) buses have been done

[Unber43]

And none of deptford or Washington I believe has had the upgraded ticketer machines put in

That is on pause for now,as I believe there are a few problems with the updated Ticketer,.

[Ambassador]

I hope the new machines process contactless a little quicker. It's a painful experience in a queue

The Day Rover and Day Saver have nothing to do with Nexus, they are TNE tickets funded through the BSIP.
What’s missing in my view is a TNE area wide bus only ticket.

Can’t all be done at once!! 
I’m sure they will be done in due course.

Should have them fitted next month (Ticketer currently rolling out the new machines at Go South Coast).

A bargain! 
£2.60 on the Metro

Couldn't agree more. 

This would have been a good way to deliver better value to bus-only users in Tyne and Wear, as presumably the cost of delivering the ticket would be lower, without Metro taking a cut?
