The transport board finally approved the new fare structure and it feels like a heavy weight has been lifted off the shoulders of everyone struggling to afford these commutes. My own daily travel costs are finally becoming manageable again and I am genuinely humbled that so many of you stood …

I have been hearing from so many of you who find the current fare structure impossible to navigate for daily work or school travel. I am currently compiling your personal accounts to present to the transit board because they need to see exactly how these costs limit our lives.

Seeing one hundred people sign this confirms I am not the only one struggling with these daily costs. Getting to work should not be a financial burden that drains my paycheck before the month even begins.

Costs way too much. Might as well drive at this point.
The metro is a absolute rip off. Prices keep going up and the service is always delayed anyway.
Need this changed asap. Getting kids to school is getting so expensive.
Ridiculous prices lately. Commuting from sunderland to newcastle costs a fortune when you add it all up.
WAY TO EXPENSIVE.Sort it out.

Been saying this for years. Nobody can afford these fares anymore.
