Yep, too expensive ,no single fares, reduced service & now at the wrong time. From my limited experience, the great majority of people who use them will not want to be arriving at the Reebok nearly 2 hours before kick off & this looks like another way of cutting demand for buses until the club can claim lack of numbers to justify ditching the service.

People either stop using them or spend more money at the club as up there longer. I'd imagine most on the bus fall into the first category.

So we have a pioneering new transport system that is designed to put off potential customers? The aim is for it to fail and have as few passengers as possible and run at a loss? Revolutionary.

Hardly pioneering, they've reduced the routes down to 6 (from 14 I think?) and considering they were thinking about getting rid it just seems they are making things difficult for folk who do use them. Ideal result for club here is that people spend an extra hour spending cash in the fanzone / hotel but just can't see that happening for most folk using the buses.

All of a sudden cheap tickets mean nothing Add the bus price with killing an hour or so it becomes a costly day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 3, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2023 When we first moved, buses ran at two times, so those wanting a drink or two near the ground could do. Presumably this is done to get more in the fan zone etc, which you can understand, especially if numbers using the buses are dropping. A bit of a catch 22 perhaps, but ultimately, can understand the club not wanting to help fund them, if fewer folk use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeversLeftPeg Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Cheapest family ticket this season is £76. Add on £28 for the bus and you're over £100 just getting to the game and getting in. Never mind buying food/drinks programmes or merchandise, that's a dear day out already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more staggering the traffic flow in rather than doing it so folk could have a pint when it first opened when we got the go ahead for the ground the club said affordable out of town travel links will be in place, yes the club has changed ownership but there’s a big draw from certain areas and with normal bus fares going down £7 is bloody expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted August 3, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2023 initially, there were going to be 2 buses going home 1 immediately and 1 a bit later they thought people would drink on the concourse post match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
