How Much Does a Bus Ride Cost?<\/span><\/p>\n … The Jurassic Coaster X53 between Axminster and Weymouth …<\/p>\n … route 12 between Brighton and Eastbourne …<\/p>\n … and the Bronte Bus to Haworth and across the moors.<\/p><\/div>\n To these fbb could add the\u00a0 685\u00a0 between Newcastle and Carlisle …<\/p>\n Ideally, you would include the Needles Breezer (Isle of Wight) …<\/p>\n … but you will not get a ride for \u00a32. SHAME.<\/p><\/div>\n But the key question is: …<\/p><\/div>\n Arriva (formerly Midland Fox, formerly Midland Red), was much more a country bus operator with interests in the developing outer suburbs of the city. Arriva has three zones for its fares; an outer zone for linger distance routes; a city zone (map below)<\/p>\n which is roughly equivalent to First’s fares area and, oddly …<\/p>\n … a special fare structure for service 158 which is now in cosy fellowship with Stagecoach’s 148. fbb will compare the two when he seeks out Stagecoach fares in tomorrow’s blog.<\/p><\/div>\n Arriva’s Fay ticket (\u00a35) is the same as Firsts’s but you have a TWO day ticket on the blue buses. The 3 day bundle is the same as First’s 3 days in seven (at \u00a313.50) but the full weekly ticket is a massive 10p dearer.<\/p><\/div>\n A circle of card joins the shaving foam top; it is, as ever, held together with a clothes peg!<\/p><\/div>\n … routes 713 and 714 …<\/p>\n … and a delightful bumble round Lanchester village.<\/p>\n Their coaching business ..<\/p>\n … is about to be enhanced by a tie-up with Flixbus.<\/p>\n Like McGills (recent news) and many others, Stanley will operate high spec coaches in Flixbus green.<\/p>\n
