Absolutely disgusting this price hike. 50p ok. Over £2 is shocking. You should be ashamed of yourselves

The bus fares in Exeter are already a disgrace and you have priced out most people form using public transport as it is and this is furthering the problem!

This is a silly increase for children's fairs ... I feel children under 10 shouldn't have to pay a fair more than a pound due to having to travel with parents during that age anyway, plus as a country we are supposed to be helping with climate change and sourcing local transport instead of all using separate cars so this counters that completely! So many are struggling with increases daily elsewhere so it's totally unfair! Personally I only travel to town and back I don't fully utilise the bus ticket called day rider to its full potential by using it for many buses ... therefore a return ticket system surely would be more sensible here ... I'm happy to pay £4\5 for us both to have a return ticket from a\b but not this as it's unfair and counterproductive so I back this petition 100%

You want people to use public transport but with the price hikes it's beyond a joke. This really needs looking into before being stopped

This increase will result in increased traffic into the city centre as the bus will be too expensive. It's a disgrace that a 200% increase has been planned.

Make up your minds car park fees have increased to get more people using public transport then you change your fees like this

£1 add-on fares are the only way some low income families are able to get out and about, they must be retained.

This is so wrong if you regularly use the bus with kids! Keep the £1- add on!!!

Sadly I will not be using the bus service if this increase goes ahead. The £1 child add-on is perfect, why change this??

Absolute disgrace bus prices are high enough in Exeter and to charge £3 a child is vile ! That means that my bus travel will cost £8.50 instead of £4.50 !!
