Simple Tickets

Journey planner

Our range of amazing value, flexible tickets are designed to fit into your life seamlessly and help ensure you only ever pay for the travel you need. However you travel, we've got the perfect ticket for you.  

From Sunday 9th July, we’re making changes to some of our fares.

While the price of a single ticket will remain £2 for adults and £1 for children, we’re increasing the price of most of our 2-Trip tickets - but most will still be cheaper than this time last year. Student and young person discounts will also now typically be up to 20%, compared to up to 25% currently.

There will also be price increases to our day and longer duration tickets in Bath and Weston-super-Mare.

Like lots of other businesses, our costs are rising, and we’re having to increase fares so we can continue to improve the services we offer you. Some of the investment we’ve already made, such as more buses on several routes in April, has already improved your journeys and made them more punctual.

While we’ve tried to keep the increases to a minimum, we believe our fares represent good value for travelling sustainably at a time when fuel costs and the general cost of living remain high.

A simple guide to your tickets from 9 July 2023

2-Trip ticket (return)

Our 2-Trip ticket is a cheaper alternative to buying 2 single tickets or a day ticket when you know you only need to catch 2 buses in a day within your chosen zone.
