Pre all the virus hoo ha, do you consider your local buses to offer good value?
The last few months of my working life I used the bus, This was Blyth in Northumberland to Newcastle. £5.90 day ticket, I found this a bit steep but then I'd had decades of free travel when I worked for the bus company.
I could, in theory, travel all day but in reality it was just a return ticket for me. The killer was when I met someone at work who would offer me a lift home, making my ticket no further use!
There does appear to be a big difference around the country depending where you are, obviously London is a very different matter.
