Was on a Stagecoach X34 earlier, and they've got a notice up advertising the same kids go free offering as Arriva.

Kids travel free over the summer" "nah mate, can't do it. Might lead to confusion and delay" (21 Jul 2023, 3:46 pm)Adrian wrote Was on a Stagecoach X34 earlier, and they've got a notice up advertising the same kids go free offering as Arriva. Two down...

RE: Pricing
GNE are not taking part in the kids go free on normal services, however kids under 11 will go free on services paid for by nexus e.g 79,81,82 sunderland connect 700 e.t.c when accompanied by an adult

Shouldn't they have been converted prior to use on service work? The company have essentially been actively discriminating against wheelchair-bound customers for close to 2 years at this point.

By virtue of it appearing on their risk register, it also suggests that we're paying for it, rather than it being done out of kindness or whatever.

The idea of the scheme is that kids travelling free generates additional adult revenue which wouldn’t otherwise be taken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Stagecoach have been doing it for a good few years every time shool holidays come around. Think they need to be 11 or under and accompanied by an adult with a qualifying ticket. |

(20 Jul 2023, 1:03 pm)busmanT wrote Why complicate the already simple offer of £1 per single journey for all aged 21 and under? Probably because Arriva and Stagecoach also have a significant network offering in the region that doesn't sit within the TNE area and therefore not part of this 'simple offer'. Probably much more simple to offer Kids Go Free everywhere. |
