Keep the £1 add on. I use 8 bus a day to get my children to and from school so it’s going to cost me £18 a week for myself and £3 per child a day bearing in mind I have 3 children

This would mean I have to pay £12 a day to get my children to school ridiculous that’s £60 a week

Families with children seem to be put in the undesirable position of driving because the busses are just too expensive. For those not able to drive or afford a car this is unacceptable and immoral.

A 43% increase is just not acceptable, and will hit the poorest. Public transport needs to be promoted, improved and subsidised NOT downgraded and made unaffordable!

& the government want less cars on the road..& are looking after those who can afford it least? It will have to come out of a food budget for many ..where else can it come from?

We don't need more car congestion forced on us by daft public transport fares.

The price rise is disproportionate and will discourage public transport use; force people to use cars as it'll actually be cheaper for families & have a knock on effect of increasing local air pollution; which is already of concern.

Yet again disgusted with Stagecoach! Lower your fares and more people will use your transport! Don’t go the other way.

I will never travel on a bus again with my children but choose to drive as the fare increases are extortionate.

It s totally ridiculous. Surely the use if public transport should be encouraged. Stagecoach is just making it inaccessible to most families . Wrong. Its not like they provide an excellent service either . Everytime I get on a bus I end up regretting it .

Absolutely wrong, as will effect the poorest children and their ability to travel, and will also increase congestion!

You're pushing families into poverty with the exorbitant bus prices as it is. Children are free in many parts of the country and ought to be so everywhere.

This change will make it cheaper for people to drive into town and park. Stage coach will lose so many customers with this change it is entirely counterproductive

This is wrong ! The service will not encourage people to use public transport when we should be considering this in preference to cars ! Also targets a potential vulnerable group of financially stretched people . Stagecoach should be ashamed.
