Does anyone here go by bus regularly in Shrewsbury and if so, how do you afford it?! :blink:

£1.10 to go (one way!!) between the town centre and Morrisons. That's only a little over a mile.

In Manchester £2 would buy you a weekly ticket for a selected route, or £8 a weekly ticket for the whole city!

Oh how I laugh when the government tells us to use public transport! How? Why? It's cheaper not to! (here in Salop anyway) :rolleyes:

£1.10 - When I was a lad (cue music) its was £35p I think.

Hiya
I use the buses everyday, as do my biz partner and our staff, we end up getting weekly tickets which work well for us, as we are cleaners and are always on a bus going to clean somewhere. £11 for the whole week is a bargain to us.

Wish i had the time to learn to drive, but at the moment, £11 per week to earn much more is Ok. Hope fully these won't go up too much when they do.

it costs £2.70 from the grange to town rtn, might aswell get a day rider for whereever you intend to go, it will always be cheaper if getting 2 or more buses.

We could boycott the buses...............

That's unbelievable £2.70 return from the Grange, the only Bus I've been on in the last five years is the Park & Ride which is £1 return to the carpark.

So if there are several of you wanting to go into town for the day, say for shopping, would it be cheaper to get a taxi and share the cost?

It is now a well known fact that we now have the dearest public transport fares in the world.
