An increase in ticket prices for multi-operator services such as the Saveaway are “not easy” but are “better than it could be” according to Liverpool City Region ’s transport chief.
A 6% increase in prices for tickets that can be used across Merseyside on more than one mode and operator was signed off by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s (LCRCA) transport committee last week. This means products including the Saveaway, Railpass and Trio for train services will cost more from January 3.
A standard adult one area Saveaway ticket will go up from £4.30 to £4.60. Cllr Liam Robinson, chair of the transport committee, told the ECHO that “on balance” the price rises were justified but acknowledged the difficulties faced with any proposed increase.
