A money saving fare cap has been introduced for Metro customers who travel on Pop Pay As You Go.
Nexus, the public body which owns and manages the Tyne and Wear Metro, has capped single journeys at £2, and at £4 for all-day travel, for pay as you go customers who travel with a Pop card or an Android smartphone with the Google Pay app installed.
The fare cap was introduced from today (January 2) and will run for the next three months. The £2 cap gives an adult with a Pop smartcard savings of up to 38% on a single journey, with an all-zone ticket currently costing £3.25.
