    Did Bus Fares Increase?

    Bus fares in the city are increased regularly. I found the tariffs published on the BA website if you care to check on what you should be charged as opposed to what the driver wants to charge you. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that drivers are paid a percentage of the fares they collect...

    While viewing this video today, I realized that my debit card functions with the "tap and pay" method.
