    I'm still hyperventilating after paying £2.50 from the bottom of Ardsley Hill up into Darfield. I took the car in for repair and haven't paid bus fare for donkey's years, hence the shock.

    We have the same issue here.....

    Tacky buses, unreliable and miserable drivers. It is cheaper for a lot of people to catch a taxi, especially if there is a few of you. Public transport prices on top of cancellations and delays is putting cars back on the roads.

    i recently copped for a free month travel card, could be used on absolutely any s'yorks public transport, didn't use to it's full potential but it took the worry out of sticking to 1 pint
    mind, money i saved was lost on me getting pi$$ed more plus i got a black eye when a taxi driver insisted he wasn't public transport ;-)

    compare it to coach travel to away matches. £13 to Crewe and back is a friggin bargain. it costs £5 one way into town in a taxi and the driver usually stinks of B O .

    It's not monthly though. it's 28 days. It really pisses me off that. I get paid monthly not 28 daily.

    And where's the tram in Barnsley?
