Considering that the size of the network is smaller than most cities and with now much reduced frequencies, I find £5.00 for an adult day rover quite shocking when you compare with other companies.
Surely the management must see that it's false logic to think that putting prices up and cutting services automatically means a better and/or more profitable business.
In the short term, they may well get more money, but it is clear the direction in which the company is going, and people are desperately searching for alternatives to bus travel (especially those on the 3/19/23/25 routes, which seem to be complained about endlessly).

I think the biggest impact will be the withdrawal of the £5 family return. In many cases, the fare is effectively being doubled. That will be the killer, as I know that was a fairly popular choice for families heading from Leigh to Warrington for a day's shopping.
