I WAS just reading about Arriva how they have dropped the fares for single adult tickets to £2.20 saving passengers 30p and 80p per trip.

But what annoys me is that they have not published or told passengers that the weekly bus pass has gone up from £16 to £17 a week. How can this happen when oil prices have come down the bus routes have not gone any longer.

Another back door increase from Arriva. I hope someone from Arriva can reply to this letter and tell us the reason behind the £1 bus fare increase.

Many thanks.
