Bristol Bus Protest - 12 noon - Saturday 24th November 2018

Bristol's latest flat fare has been spun by First and Bristol 'Labour' mayor Marvin Rees as a good thing because most fares will be cut.
In fact almost all single journeys are around the city centre so those will all be increased by 50p
Those who make longer journeys from the city fringes, most of which are commuters, don't buy two singles they buy a day rider which has also gone up by 50p

Ever feel like you were being treated like stupid cattle?
And First Bus know most opinion formers in the city don't use buses so don't care.
