£2 Greater Manchester fare cap

RE: £2 Greater Manchester fare cap
As someone who typically gets Stagecoach, it does appear as though for most the ticket prices have come down for customers in regards to the £2 tickets as most journeys (unless less than five minutes) would cost more than £2 on the old fare structure.
Also noticed that more passengers have been getting singles as it is cheaper than using a day ticket for a return journey.

One thing I have noticed is that passengers are still being sold the more expensive Stagecoach DayRiders for journeys within the GM border (for example on the 101 towards Manchester). This is likely due to passengers used to just saying DayRider and in part from drivers actually suggesting to customers to get the Stagecoach ticket over the cheaper any bus ticket when they have asked for a day ticket.
- Whilst trying not to go off topic, it hasn't exactly been a good start to the week for Stagecoach as their app / website timetables and tracking hasn't been working properly due to it still being programmed for Summer times.
