    How are you all coping with the £3 cap?

    My local bus into town was 160 before the 2.00 cap. then 2.00. now 2.60 !!!. Quite an increase for 2 stops. if i could walk it into town i would.But a series of main roads etc forbids this. Some increase in a few years. Thanks Stagecoach. The 09.30 bus was always 75% full. now 75% empty.
