I expect these days school bus passes to be expensive but with Ridleys charging £850 for three terms of travel per child. How can anyone afford this but the wealthy? If you have two children then £1700 which you have to pay six months in advance to secure the places. And they refuse to offer termly or monthly payments because it does not work for their business model. Captive market and with no other way of getting children to school other than us all getting in our cars this does wonders for the environment.
