Magic bus used instead of corporate bus, someone got on with a magic rider and was refused travel. A big row developed and in the end a call was put into comms and the driver was told to let them travel.

Some passengers do get a better deal than others and it’s just a fact of life with public transport. Two services travelling from Manchester to Stockport (eg. 42/192/203) will have different fares because they take totally different routes. It’s a postcode lottery.

Prior to zonal fares, the metrolink was exactly the same with the maximum off peak fare on the Eccles line being £3 single yet the same distance on the Bury line would be £1.20 more.
