PAYG will be an additional way for passengers to pay for their travel, with smart card and paper tickets remaining available. We are making changes to simplify fares to ensure PAYG works for passengers and will announce further details in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 06/07/2023 08:06:43 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
