    One of the journeysI make every weekwent from &pound;8 to &pound;10the momentthe new system was switched on. Twenty five percent!My guess isnone of this new revenue is going to the drivers either.</p>

    I doubt I'm the only one considering a switch Mr Tinghey, I think you may have peaked. Shame after all these years.</p>

    These increases aren't to do with inflation...

    Petrol prices, mortgages, council tax, gas and electricity, grocery prices... and on and on... are all increasing disproportionately with inflation. The UK is 29th in The Economist's list of places to live when considering the quality of life and it's all down to the spiralling costs of living here. Scandanavian countries do well despite their high living costs. Australia and Canada stand out as having lower living costs and a great quality of life with plenty to do. That's why I'm trying to emmigrate next year. And the best place to live... Ireland.

    Hardly.

    There was a 25% increase the moment the system was switched on indicating that it calculates the fare in a different way. Nothing to do with an inflation indexed price rise.
