$2 for 2 hours (about 80p) then when it runs out it you just have to buy another, OR you can get these 10 trip things where u can use them 10 times and they cost like $7.
They also have like a little ticket that u put into a machine and it reads it. Its sorta like a credit card, so u dont even need to show the driver your ticket.
Its a great system.
And iin singapore they pay a set fee a month and it gives them unlimited travel i think.

Thats sounds quite good. However I don't think theres anything like that at all over here. :eusa_wall All they want over here is your money.

I leave 3.10 for next day added a bit of money to it to make .45P to get bus, then my mum gives me another £5 for dinner, then if i don't buy expensive i save money again and for thursday.

Honestly I only have like less then £10 for me, but because I don't spend my money and my mum buys my clothes with her money (lucky boy lol ) i have EMA untouched in my bank which is all good.

But If my mum asks for money i just give ( not like I need it badly ) im 16 :P
( Don't drink/smoke) im blessed lol.


bonus should come end of January, so either this week or next.

I have about £10 left for me aswell. :P
Finally! I'm gonna go to London with a few mates and spend it all. :P I'm sure the bonuses used to come before christmas? :S

£4.40 for a day pass!? Omg! It's like £3.00 here. A day pass is cheaper than a return to my college. They do charge the earth. Seriously they got rid of child return and day passes!?

I calculated it wrong. It would cost about £325 a year without my card. =/

Yeah, Stagecoach is pretty good. None around where I live though. :(

The government moan about cars, but if trains and buses are not going to work properly then why bother advertising them like they're better and cheaper than running a car? To tackle congestion, they do need to do something with public transport. If there aren;t enough buses and they run late, then no one is going to take them if they have the ability to drive.

yep lol. ages ago i was like child day pass please and he was like, no sorry we dont do child days or return. i was like WTH. the stupid thing is that my loads of kids catch the bus who go to the high school next to my college, so that means they have to pay more, and if their family dont have a lot of money, thats just unfair.

i dont see how the government can tell everyone to use public transport more, and less using cars when public transport is so expensive. ridiculous

oxford buses are really new, last year they spent millions on new buses for the city centre route

and they're really regular like every two minutes lol
