Why lie and say "a whole lot more too!" its becase after nameing 2 things i.e. 'its a new name' and a 'its a new look' (the new look being that METRO lokks different than the old CITYBUS) there is very little difference at all.
The prices are the same and so are the busses.
what they did do was rename it and change all the numbers and did minor adjustments to the routes. In all its very confusing having to relearn all the numbers espcially when they purposely thrown in things for confusion. Like replaceing the 1a and 1b Expresses with the 13 and 14 whilst changing the 49 and 51 to the 1a and 1b which are all on the same route .... if i didn't get busses regularly i'd go to get hte good old 1a express and end up on the old 49 FFS !!!!
