I would bet that none of them average 3 punters.

I bet when they get going in a few months they'll be averaging 6-7 punters a trip as some will get savvy and realise that they are cheaper than the bus to travel just 3 stops or more and will flag them down for a part journey towards the town centre and the driver will have another spare seat to fill for another £1.

And they will all catch the bus back.

I would sooner eat s*** than charge someone a pound for a journey.

Mugs the lot of them.
