Weekly 1 zone, £10.50 First, £12.00 Citybus, 1 zone monthly, £35 First £40 Citybus. And the 3 monthly equivalent would be £105 with First and £120 with Citybus... not to mention the fact you get full months with First compared to only 28 days with cVitybus.<br /><br />Hope First don't follow suit they could gain an advantage on regular season ticket customers on the man routes here I reckon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
