£2 fare cap

Pay no more than £2 on single fares in Glasgow

from 7 September 2026

You've got places to be. Soon it will cost less to get there.

Good news for Glasgow and beyond. All single journeys on First Bus services across Glasgow and the surrounding areas are capped at just £2 from 7 September... no matter how far you're travelling.

That's £2 to get to work. £2 to meet friends. £2 to head into town. Even £2 to start your journey to the airport on the Glasgow Airport Express.

Funded by Transport Scotland, the £2 fare cap is helping make everyday travel more affordable, leaving a little extra money for the things that matter most.

So whether you're ticking things off your to-do list or heading off on your next adventure, hop on board and enjoy the ride for £2.
