Because there's no other way to get around. Sadly both the big companies and transport authorities live in the dark ages and still believe that 99 per cent of bus users want to travel between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday which is not the case. Stagecoach Manchester have for some months now run a promotion where all adult single fares between 7 and 11 are only £2. Ironically the radio ad they ran suggested people leave the cars at home and travel into the city centre by bus. It's almost like they are saying sod the shift workers who rely on the skeleton bus services away from city centre.
