Wow. That is a full 11% for the explorer and almost 17% for the day rover (my mental arithmetic may be out)

You are spot on with your figures, they really want to screw North Tyneside don't they.

The issue is that response shouldn't be required, and wheelchair users should be able to board buses. Obviously a broken ramp is slightly different (provided it was checked and worked on a first use inspection, and the defect happened in service), but the reports on here and elsewhere indicate that GNE have been knowingly sending out vehicles that cannot safely board wheelchair users at various bus stations, due to the centre door position of the ramp.

RE: Pricing
On the GNE app, would it be possible for the developers to change the colour of the header of multi-operator tickets, so they can be quickly identified?

With the amount of people boarding Stagecoach buses thinking they can just flash a "Tyne & Wear" or "All Zones" ticket, instead of Network One/Day Rover, a description saying "valid on Go North East buses only" would be helpful for us to point at to show them we're not lying...

When is this change taking place, because our machines are still showing the Day Rover as being £7.80, and charging as such?

Also move the name of the ticket somewhere else - I'm often getting people on who show the ticket but I can't see what it is because they've just received a text or something.

Wonder if stagecoach would do the same, so many people who think dayriders and megariders are valid on go north east services when they are not

This is from https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-65036266 article "Cheaper fares for young people will be rolled out from spring while adult tickets are expected later this year.".

Also is the Under 22 Day Ticket the same thing as the £6.80 just cheaper for younger people?

Have the zone boundaries been published yet?
Presumably it's the county boundaries with no wiggle room for sanity checks?

The £1.00 21 and under single fare is only valid for journeys wholly within the TNE area - ie Durham. Northumberland, Gateshead, Sunderland, Newcastle, South Tyneside, North Tyneside.

July at the earliest - press release from TNE said something like “weekly tickets following later in the summer”
