I live in Manchester. Got on the bus and was told a weekly adult ticket is now £15.50 :mad:

No mention on the GMPTE website is children's tickets are going up.
Not happy today

    Same here, up from £17.30 to £20 for a weekly ticket

    Lovely start to the year!

    I wish I had a little car and knew how to maintain it.
    my sister runs her diesel car on £10 a week for fuel and her insurance is not much really. And she has the conveniance of having the car at her front door, not having to wait for ages in the cold for a bus.

    I have to use buses and so does my son for college.
    It's no way to attract people to use public transport, if they keep putting the fares up.
