Bus firm accused of 'taking the p***' over rise in Preston school fares

The prospect of a rise in school bus fares in Preston appears to have sparked a scathing response at one of the city’s bus stops. It comes after Preston Bus recently advised schools of the annual inflationary price increase for its services, which will come into force in September.

Preston Bus said at the time that the increases – on routes to schools including Corpus Christi High School and Fulwood Academy – were necessary to avoid it having to cancel the “heavily loss making” services altogether. While the price rise for a weekly ticket this autumn will be a more modest 5.7 percent, it nevertheless seems to have ground the gears of at least one disgruntled resident with an interest in the matter.
