I don’t know why they aren’t used throughout Manchester. Edinburgh and London both have flat fares for the buses and both are far more efficient than Manchester. Edinburgh buses are council owned and London buses are regulated.I used to get the train to Belle Vue and then catch the 53x bus from there straight to the ground. Same in reverse after the match. There were always a dozen or so buses lined up and ready to go. Does anyone remember the Minimax fares on the buses. It cost three pence no matter how far you travelled.
That's three old pence, which would be just over one penny in today's money.
Hopefully Manchester’s buses will be regulated as Burnham is working on this at the moment.
