do the bus company get paid on each ticket journey or are they paid a set sum per ticket or per stage ?
depending on which way the company are paid there could be a big fiddle going on

I always catch the bus at the bottom of Lonsdale street to town and get the bus back to the Acorn centre.
but on a lot of tickets I have been noticing I have been getting on at ossy library or spread eagle street I even according to the ticket got on at Redcap pub to go to Accy (don't remember walking this far to catch a bus to Accy)
and going home I get off at Acorn centre remember I have tickets from Accy to spread eagle st even Harwood st / Tesco
This could be costing the council a lot of money and could put an end to these passes.

I would like to see some input from one of our council friends
You should save those tickets and hand them in at the town hall, there will be quite a difference in the cost of the actual distance from Lonsdale St to Accy, compared to Spread Eagle Ossy to Accy, either some ones too lazy to calibrate the ticket machine or some ones found a way to milk the system.
