Bus fares go up
9:55am Tuesday 1st January 2008
Comments (76)Bus passengers are facing a fares increase to rival the price rises on train services.
First, the biggest operator of bus services in the Bradford district, is putting up some fares by as much as 14 per cent from Sunday.
The company says the increases are because of rising fuel costs.
Train fares on the Wharfedale Line and Harrogate Line go up tomorrow by as much as three times the headline inflation rate, with off-peak fares being hit particularly hard.
Now First is to increase ticket prices on its local and West Yorkshire-wide bus routes. Passengers currently paying 70p for their ticket will see the price go up by around 14 per cent to 80p, while the maximum off-peak fare on First's Leeds-based services will go up more than 12 per cent from £1.60 to £1.80.
A peak-time single fare currently costing £2.10 will go up to £2.30. Fares currently costing £1 or £1.50 will not change, however.
First says the prices of its day tickets, as well as pre-paid weekly, monthly and annual tickets will also rise.
FirstDay tickets available for unlimited use throughout West Yorkshire on one day will go up from £3.50 to £3.70. Meanwhile the First Day (Off Peak) ticket, which can be used within the Leeds Metropolitan boundary only, will also go up 20p, from £2.50 to £2.70.
West Yorkshire-wide weekly tickets will cost £15 instead of £14, while monthly tickets will go up by more than eight per cent from £48 to £52.
Yearly tickets will increase from £510 to £540, an increase ahead of November's headline inflation rate.
West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, Metro, has put up prices for its season tickets, in line with bus and train price rises.

What about food inflation and electricity, gas, council tax etc, these are all increasing massively too.
But the government tries to tell us that inflation is at 2.1%

I agree with House Price Crash, the government does try to tell us inflation is 2.1% when it knows full well that the real rate is more than double this figure. But then this is a government that wouldn't recognise the truth if it stood up and smacked them in the face.

For once, Albion, I must take issue with you. I happen to be a free bus pass holder. I mistakenly thought that by using the bus and not my car I was helping to reduce congestion on our roads. I have had to endure many comments from people whom curently are fare-payers. My response is that I assume when they become eligible for their bus pass they won't bother to take it, bit of course I know full well that they will!

The government dont want to encourage people onto public transport, they may say they do but the reality is that too much revenue would be lost from the taxes on fuel and motorists generally.
The green taxes are nothing of the sort, they are just using Green issues as an excuse to penalise the motorist and force more tax into government coffers.
If the authorities were interested in being green they could make public transport free!!

Sorry but until public transport is free and the high taxes we already pay is put to the use of making them so I will not be using them.

I begrudge paying high busfare as it is, I pay over 25 quid per week on fares with my kids fares, then you get driveres who deliberately drive past them so they are late home. Not only that theres them that use fake tickets, (dayriders) and them that have passes they arnt entitled to. This pees me off. Whats worse is the service, when they turn up, and sittin on peed on seats, and dirty busses, oh and the drivers who insist on using the brake instead of the clutch at every opportunity.

The most annoying thing is the way passengers ignore all the notices about mobile phones, eating and drinking and playing music, it doesnt leave you in the best frame of mind to deal with things after a long dose of that.

Think first need to get the bum in to gear and advertise the fact fares are rising at least a month before they do. It's gonna cost me £60 per month to get to work!Do you mean get it into gear rather than talk out of it? The most annoying thing is the way passengers ignore all the notices about mobile phones, eating and drinking and playing music, it doesnt leave you in the best frame of mind to deal with things after a long dose of that.
