So you travel regularly in London on various forms of PT using a pass providing unlimited journeys for the cost of £23.60 a week

If you travel regularly in Sheffield on various forms of PT then you can get a pass providing unlimited journeys which will cost you £24 for a week or £83 for 28 days.

 

So whats your point?

 

I don't know when Firethorn was travelling but a week zone 1 only is £31.40, and zone 1-3 (approx 5 mile radius of central London, the only area many can afford to live) is almost £37.

Because outside London, the bus services were deregulated in such a way that it has been much more difficult for the authorities to make the bus companies cooperate on an integrated scheme like this.

 

That's the real problem --- we need publicly accountable "public" transport.
