Thanks bmmoboy !
I have taken another look at the First Worcestershire website, and my revised understanding (or not) is as follows:-
(1) - click on TICKETS
(2) - click on TICKET PRICES
(3) - scroll-down to the selection of six ticket types ( - which include "Unlimited Direct Debit" tickets).
(4) - click on DAY
(5) - scroll down through the ZONES, to CITY
THIS is where the heading/caption/statement says "valid within the city boundary - city unlimited is also valid for the full route of The Malverns service 44 "
THIS (I believe) is where the confusion is being introduced, and the heading/caption/statement needs removing -- --
any potential passenger who has clicked on "DAY", has already chosen NOT to select "Unlimited Direct Debit" ( - which is where the information about the extended 44 availability should be confined to) -- --
AND, I think these people are likely to think that "city unlimited" in the heading/caption/statement about the extended 44 availability means the City ZONE (Day) ticket that they have selected (@ £4.70).
This is likely to cause aggravation between drivers and passengers who are being asked to pay £6.50, and
worse still -- if a passenger has bought a City Day Ticket in Worcester and has ridden to Malvern, and tries to re-board in Malvern for the return journey, and is challenged or refused entry !!
If any of you disagree with my appraisal above, please let me know, as I will contact the company soon -- unless one of our members / drivers already has ??
-- and the matter is already "in-hand" ???
P.S. - Would it be better for First to change the name of "Unlimited Direct Debit" tickets to "Special Direct Debit" or "Direct Debit Special" tickets ?
