Travel: Mersey ferrying
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FURTHER to the discussion on Christmas Day transport (Independent Traveller, 1 January), Mr I S Nicholson of Whitehaven informs me that on 25 December Merseytravel operated 14 routes hourly between noon and 5pm with free travel on major routes. 'This was aimed particularly at hospital visitors, with all hospitals in the area being served. On 26 December over 50 routes were operated from 10am to 11pm, with a flat fare of 30p. Both initiatives ought to be applauded.'
