Ticket prices for multi-operator services such as the Saveaway are expected to rise across the Merseytravel network next year.
Should Liverpool City Region Combined Authority ’s (LCRCA) transport committee approve the decision, fees for tickets that can be used across Merseyside on more than one mode and operator will increase at a rate of around 6% in 2023. This will mean a standard adult one area Saveaway ticket will go up from £4.30 to £4.60 from January 3.
The Merseytravel Multi-Operator Ticketing Scheme is a ticketing scheme owned by the combined authority and administered by Merseytravel as the executive body responsible for delivering public transport services on its behalf. The scheme ensures there is a ticketing offer that can be used on more than one operator and mode, such as an Arriva bus and Merseyrail train, “in the interest of providing customers with affordable transport tickets” according to a CA report.
