Bus driver informed my daughter that the weekly bus ticket will go up from £9.70 to £12.75 in two weeks time. Costing us an extra £10 a month (or £75 a year if you go my school weeks). Even the driver said he thought it was ridiculous. I checked their website and social media, no mention of price rises. That's really short notice in my opinion. Will also be annoying in terms of getting cash ready each weekend as at least now I can give her a tenner and it covers it.
It's the public bus and still cheaper than getting the actual school bus, which is about £700 a year so no one really uses it and I don't resent the cost itself (well, OK I do) so much as the huge increase in % terms.
I suggested some kind of protest but the DCs weren't in favour, so I will probably have to settle for ranting at them on Twitter (and a rather pointless AIBU thread on here!).
