Boxing Day Bus Services

[First Class]

RE: Boxing Day Bus Services
Think of it from another point of view.

Bank Holidays are generally more than single time for the bus, drivers. Probably double time for Boxing Day.

If the bus companies said, ok, we'll run more frequent services, but we are going to charge a premium fare, say 75%-100% more, to reflect the higher operating costs, would you pay the higher fare for an improved Bank Holiday service?

As that isn't particularly practical in Merseyside, (due to fare caps like the Saveaways etc), the only way to operate Bank Holidays whilst remaining profitable is probably to run smaller, less fuel hungry vehicles

You need Merseytravel to contribute something to the services.
