The fact that it costs £3.20 to go from Birkenhead to Liverpool one way is bad enough in itself, considering its £2.50 on the train and with that get the choice of 4 stations including James Street for Liverpool ONE!
I don't understand why its £4 for a Wirral Day ticket, but for 60p more you can go to chester, southport, wigan, warrington, manchester, crewe... the wirral day ticket really shouldn't really cost any more than £3.60!

Daylight robbery it is, i paid a child single for my 7 year old brother from liverpool to birkenhead and got charged £2.20, i thought the driver was joking at first. I couldve got an adult single on a train for an extra 30p. Ridiculus. And £3.10 for a child day ticket? Whats that all about, horrendus

Thats the reason why people have cars these days , bus fares over the years seem to have just taken off faster than the price of petrol in real terms.

all it does is give smaller companys a more easy task of taking on the big boys, just a shame there is few small companys willing to try it

Thats why everyone should have day tickets... £4 all day any route in Wirral or £4.60 any bus in Merseyside or £5 return on the train! So its still cheaper by bus and you can go anywhere! Or by a saveaway and get any bus or train
Liverpools is £2.00 single, £3.90 day ticket for Liverpool or £4.60 Merseyside...vs £2/£2.50 an HOUR in most car parks in town, so definitely better by bus.

It's actually £2.90 return on the train, so miles cheaper than the bus.

southport are just as bad get past thornton and they charge just as high

The seating capacity on the hybrids lower deck is less then the enviros with less space
in the chair/buggy/ pram area,and only half a window at the back,other half is
housed off for batteries,looks a bit odd,still looks better than an enviro though
