00:00Hi I'm Theo with Manchester World and today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking
00:03people about trains. That's because it looks as though the average commuter is now going
00:07to have to pay around 5% extra on top of his already substantial travel costs. We want
00:12to know whether people think that's right, whether they're happy to pay the extra, or
00:16whether they view it as a bit cheeky. No, not at all. Like it's so bad. Never, ever
00:21on time. Yeah, they're always like packed, like there's nowhere to sit, nowhere to stand
00:26even. On the days that you're meant to get a train, you know. But it's the same for everyone,
00:32so you're going to get a crowd, but they could throw us a bone if a little bit. So people
00:36out here are not surviving and are in poverty, it makes it harder for them as well at the
00:41same time, and them increasing the prices has a major effect on our people and our society
00:47in general. I think it's bad that it's going up, but I want to see that it's going in the
00:52right place if I'm paying more, that if I miss the train and I get one 20 seconds after
00:57it that I'm not going to be fined, because I'm basically on the same train.
