#Cost of public transport

TFGM (Transport For Greater Manchester)

The weekly system one tram and bus add on ticket that will be no longer issued from the 3rd September 2017. The notice was put up last week starting 21st August 2017. The lack of notice and not consulting all those who use public transport about the new ticket is NOT acceptable and has not gone unnoticed.

The new ticket will be £35.00 Per Week which is far too expensive for some people who need to use both Bus and Tram to get to their destinations, although I could go any were I wanted on the tram this is NO help to some people.

The new travel ticket cost isn't feasible for the travel some do on a daily bases, some people will NOT want this as the shops and the travel shop in the Rochdale Interchange who supply the public with the travel cards have already raised this issue with TFGM. They have chosen to ignore these concerns and done what you always do, this is rued and unacceptable from a company who says they care about there staff and passengers alike.

These people work on the front line and know what the public want and don't want, they have fought on our behalf for only TFGM not to listen, and line ther own pockets. The buses don't run on time most of the time as it is and them charging us more for a rubbish service is not good enough.

The cost of the any weekly bus ticket on the get me there card hasn't gone unnoticed ether, before the last time the fairs went up it was £16.00, then it went to £17.00 not long ago, has now increased to £18.00 within less than six months after the last fair increase, this too is unacceptable. Increasing prices is one thing and is expected to happen to keep inline with inflation, but doing so more than once a year is UNACCEPTABLE,

Please tell TFGM to scrap the new weekly system one tram and bus ticket at a cost of £35.00 per week as the cost isn't feasible, and to keep the existing weekly system one tram and bus add on ticket costing £22.00 per week.
