no inflation but my bus fares went from 70p to £2.20.

I think the figures come from the ONS ie not the government

If you run home behind the bus you'll save £2.20

Run home behind a taxi instead, and save £10.

Zorro

The answer is yes. But the real sad part is the electorate believed them

The truth zorro and highlights the importance of getting a responsible government.

Bus fares are £1.50 in London. You can get a number 3 from Crystal Palace to Oxford Circus for that amount which is more than fair enough really.

Fare enough, indeed.

Some companies up North are paying drivers £10ph

Stagecoach are always recruiting. Will train you too.

Plus oil prices going down

sounds like youre subsidising the old dears free buspasses

When the zones were in place (no idea if they still are) you could get from Stratford to Romford for 40p on an 86 bus, as it was all Zone 6.

Note for BBC viewers

Romford is NOT east London, or I'd have walked there.

£2.20 single in the West Midlands. Although I have a pass I quite often pay the fare when going out early in the morning. It's just loose change these days, price of a posh coffee. Surely a season ticket works out even cheaper if travelling regularly by bus.

Hate to think how much it averages out by car, nearer £1 a mile in my case.

Is there a time restriction on when you can use your pass Foinavon?
24/7 in Scotland.

Not before 9:30 am here. Have to pay normal price before that time.
