You are making it impossible to afford to go on the bus. £14 for the husband, myself and two children to get on the bus. It will not cost me this in petrol and to park for the whole day!!!

I don't think the children should go up. Many people struggle as it is... doing that they will struggle more. People will stay inside instead of going out and spending their money so places will loose money too.

This has not been consulted on. This will affect so many loyal bus users. I thought the plan is to get people out of their cars?

Redicilous! All this nonsense about challenging times and keeping competitive. Very interested to know the company running costs and management pay!

We are supposed to be moving away from cars to public transport. Leave as £1.

The impact on families who rely on busses for schools will be huge. Please rethink Stagecoach, this is disgusting.

Why the great hike in price? Busy parents need the use of the bus especially if they haven't a car. Think of the environment!!!

Fares are extortionate as it is and they want to make it worse ... Just a greedy and out of touch company.

A pound add on is fair.

It's extremely unfair to not only the children but to the parents/guardians who have to find the money. What about the poorer families? It's greedy.

Stagecoach SW should reverse their decision to hike prices for children travelling on their buses in Exeter.

We only travel between kenton and Exminster to take my autistic son to his school. It will now cost us £165 every 4 weeks. The cost of his travel only being £5 cheaper than mine every 4 weeks. If we can persuade him to go on all fours with a lead, will he then be free?! Even saying only one add on per adult ticket bought would be fairer surely? This is going to make a massive difference to our lives as we now, with two weeks notice have to find an extra £64 every 4 weeks. If it was feesible to walk then we would.

i honestly cannot believe the prices babe gone up so much. Especially for a service that doesn't show up on time, buses jammed out of the doors because there's so many people on board. Utterly disgusted and i for one will NO longer be using buses. I cannot afford the £10 a day it'll cost me and my children to travel, i will now have to walk from exwick to cowick street every single day, multiple times just to do the school runs. I hioe being so rich is good, because its disgusting watching sungle mums/dads and innocent children suffer. Absolutely heart broken.

The price of the buses in Exeter and the service provided along with the very rude arrogant bus drivers is frankly appalling. The service is not fit for purpose and does to encourage people to use public transport it is far too expensive and much cheaper to drive everywhere
