'Travel zone changes are pricing us out of public transport'

Passengers say a new pricing system for travel cards in the west of Scotland will make costs skyrocket for many people.

"I fear that there will be people in a worse off situation who rely on this card who will simply not be able to afford this price rise." People can select different cards based on which zones they want to travel in, as well as for different periods of time, from a day ticket to an annual pass.Kevin Stevenson, 31, regularly travels in Glasgow from Cardonald to his teaching job in Maryhill.However the new system means the same commute will cost him £176.40."I am all for them reclassifying the zones because they are a bit crazy," he said.

Mr Stevenson said he usually takes a train and a bus to get to work, so an integrated travel card worked best for his circumstances."This city is bad enough in terms of public transport, but this was the only integrated ticketing system that Glasgow offers.
