I WOULD just like to protest about First York increasing its prices for the ninth time in seven years. It is completely unrealistic to ask someone to pay these prices every day to rely on public transport (The Press, July 16).

This discourages the use of buses and takes complete advantage of the tourist side of York, as well as not listening to the population of York about what they want.

This is a complete disgrace. First live up to their name about just who they think of first, themselves.
