GBP1 bus fares proposed for Bristol.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
By Marc Rathm.rath Passengers could be charged a flat rate of just GBP1 for some bus journeys as part of a trial being proposed for Bristol.
Jon Rogers, the city councillor in charge of transport, hopes the idea will encourage more people to use buses at off-peak times and speed up road journeys.
He says he would like to see GBP1 single fares brought in for journeys within the city's boundaries on one of the showcase bus routes.
Single fares currently range between 80p for two stops and GBP2.80 for a journey from Henbury to Hartcliffe or Keynsham to Cribbs Causeway.
Dr Rogers says the council might need to cover the cost of the trial and says he would like to see it up and running within a year.
The Liberal Democrat councillor says the pilot scheme would give people who cannot afford to use public transport the chance to catch a bus into the city centre.
