Transdev know that they can charge whatever they want now for their fares because there is NO competition, by the end of 2009 they will own ALL the buses in east lancashire, we have no choice but to pay these stupid prices
from what the woman in the office was saying today kids will pay 3/4 of adult fares instead of half

So after we've had to pay for a pass to make sure our kids can travel to school at half fare, they are now putting a child's fare up to 3/4 of the adult price - might as well have saved the price of the pass in the first place!
