Who knows what that means. To me it would mean say at least 25% of tickets should be £1. At present on their Web site prices are either £1, £3 , £5 or £7. Even with that unless they have very high loadings I cannot see how they can make a profitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-88363306754575743582018-04-24T19:55:04.775+01:002018-04-24T19:55:04.775+01:00No, not necessarily.

As long as there are a few seats sold at £1 they are doing nothing wrong. I know someone who went on it yesterday for £1, and as previously stated I have bought many Megabus journeys for £1. It will certainly not be a flat fare of £1 as if it was there woudn't be enough buses in London to cover the demand!Steve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852377706742868978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-81526725660182571932018-04-24T08:07:34.792+01:002018-04-24T08:07:34.792+01:00Megabus launch £1 Two Hour tour of London service...Megabus launch £1 Two Hour tour of London service<br /><br />The press release states it is a £1 fare and the tour takes 2 hours and it does not stop to pick up passengers<br /><br />Megabus have already been in trouble with advertising £1 fares when as little as one fare per coach has been available at £1 so could be in trouble again. I suspect though that the £1 fare is just a launch offer for the first week or so. There is no way it can be viable at a flat £1 fareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-19238088133716782182018-04-21T13:14:21.390+01:002018-04-21T13:14:21.390+01:0015th April15th AprilSteve Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852377706742868978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-16872096001548413932018-04-21T09:41:29.544+01:002018-04-21T09:41:29.544+01:00which sunday was itwhich sunday was itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-67078657768857668212018-04-19T21:26:58.432+01:002018-04-19T21:26:58.432+01:00You're right!
