FARES FAIR IN DAYLIGHT ROBBERY

8.00am, its d day and that d it stands for dentist appointment.

The school has been made aware the kids will be arriving later and teeth cleaned to within an inch of their life we make our way out at the allotted time in our schedule to make sure our bus journey into town is calm and relaxed.  

I’ve come prepared with a purse full of change as we know how much a bus driver detests being presented with large notes first thing in the morning but that foresight becomes somewhat irrelevant when i step on board only to be informed child fares don’t start until 9am which going by our timetable will be when the first child is being examined in the dentist’s chair.

So after being fleeced for over £10 to get  my 12 year olds into town paying the adult rate for both them and myself , I would really like to ask how Arriva how they justify that that fare as being  fair.
