The mother-in-law wants to travel on the bus in Yorkshire. A simple 20 minute journey.
The timetable is easy enough to find online, but should you want to know how much this ticket would cost you get sent to http://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/ticketfinder.aspx. This site has 105 applicable tickets, from £0 to £1050.50.
Is it any wonder that bus usage is going down - even with 20% of bus users travelling for free, and 50% in London where it's a nice simple £1.50.
Is there an assumption in the bus world that people will either be travelling on season tickets or free old-people tickets, thus don't need to know about the fare?
How hard is it to provide bus fares in addition to timetable data?
