THAMESDOWN Transport in the Swindon area will, from May 15, have no return bus fares single fares only, adults 90p, £1.40, £1.80, children 80p throughout, not zoned, single fares on the hospital bus.

How the bus company can force these very high prices on to the unfortunate people who rely on the buses beggars belief, but I suppose someone has to pay for the free passes and the new bus depot.

Perhaps a person from Thamesdown bus company could explain why the exorbitant rise in prices are being introduced onto an unsuspecting public and way above inflation, particularly the hospital service.
