And the £25 was 3 years ago, so prices will have no doubt rocketed.
A quick check of the stagecoach website says your service ain't too shabby. Monday to Saturday it's twice an hour and even on a Sunday you have a bus every hour. Some villages in Aberdeenshire can only dream of that sort of service - hell the only bus that takes me within 2 miles of my work has one service every couple of hours and only Monday to Friday.
Cost-wise ain't too bad either. You can get a 4-week ticket for £76 which is £19 a week and therefore cheaper than 3 years ago. That adds up to only £988 a year which has to be much cheaper than running a car - your insurance alone must be quite high thanks to your driving history. Include road tax, maintenance costs and the high price of fuel and it's gonna add up to a fair whack of money.
but it is your money and your choice how to spend it
