Think what people spend at Starbucks for 1 coffee or a toastie

I think his objection was he doesn't have confidence in some drivers finding a rarely issued £5.80 day ticket on the system.

There's a difference between Starbucks and Arriva (or any other bus company.) If Starbucks advertise a Latte for £2.20, they don't give you a cup of instant coffee instead and still charge you £2.20. I see Warrington's Own Buses using an old Cadet/decker on a Cat9 working almost every morning - I'm sure the passengers who catch that particular service don't get a discounted ticket for not getting a 'Cat standard' vehicle.
