Logic-defying hike in fares

Sir, – Well said, Vincent Hibbert (October 29th), in relation to the logic-defying increase in public transport fares, and the inane attempts at justification by the NTA spokesperson.

We will soon have no public transport system if this logic persists; a spiral of unaffordability driving further fare increases which drives further drop in usage due to unaffordability, etc, etc. – Yours, etc,
