Reader's letter: The increase in first bus fares is fair

This is about an increase in bus fares of £2.50 for £2. In his case, his monthly pass ranges from 84 to 91 pounds. 16.5pa day increase based on 30 days.

This increase means it works at 3 pounds per day. If he made one journey between and between his work, it is associated with a 1.50 pound ride, compared to 2.50 pounds. If you need 4 trips, each related to 75p. If your Day Rover is rising to 6 pounds a day, it is related to a journey of less than 1.50 pounds, based on four or more.

What is he complaining about?

What he needs to remember is that the £2 fare has risen, but it is much lower than before the mayor's fare scheme was introduced.

I don't know if the monthly pass has been reduced under the mayor's guarantee of fares reductions. If that doesn't reduce, he will have to contemplate that he still pays less for his journey than many others, and will still be.
