There are calls to get the 700 bus route wrapped up into the new joint ticketing zone launched this week.

It seems the scheme has been a success with Oxford Bus Company, Stagecoach and Thames Travel allowing a one ticket fits all policy.

However, because the hospital link service is run by another firm, it is not part of the system.

That is the only consistent complaint we have heard.

There will be issues as to its exclusion but we hope officials take note and see if there is a workable solution.
