from my house to town would be £3 but i have a bus pass ,when i was a teenager it was 2p
when i was 18 i worked in hull for 6 months the bus fare was 5p [local bus] from near guest house to work place it was quite a journey
i think public transport costs are way too high today but then i don't have to pay anymore

The odd trip here and there is fine and acceptable. But having to rely on buses every day and it's now close to £900 a year and when there's no other choice but to pay then yeah it's a rip off. When it was under £600 2-3 years ago.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
If you work 5 days a week, and have 5 weeks holiday, plus bank holidays then 52x5-33 = £681 per year, not a rip off at all. In 2027 it will be £454.

Is that including the daily return fare as well? And travel at the weekends and during holiday time?

it is nearly £1400 a year when you consider return fares
Or as it has gone to statistics it is 5.6% of someone working 39 hours per week on minimum wage
