Wrexham County Borough Council councillor for Rossett, Hugh Jones, said they were looking at arranging a meeting with Arriva for early September "and the issue of
fare stages will be on the agenda."
The adult fare for a journey lasting more than three
fare stages is pounds 1.70 on National Express West Midlands buses in Birmingham, compared to a pounds 1 flat fare for people travelling in buses in London who have an Oyster card.
UNDER the current pricing structure, a family of two adults and two children, would expect to pay a total of pounds 3.90 for a journey into the city passing through nine or more
fare stages. If the proposals went ahead this cost would rise to pounds 5.20.
Proposals to revise
fare stages on tram and bus services, involving some increases, have been made by Birmingham Transport Department.
