New Fares from 20th August 2023
Having held the prices of our period and multi-journey tickets at the same levels since January 2022, we're making changes to some of these from Sunday 20th August 2023. You'll find all the new prices for our full range of tickets below, split into two areas based on where we operate.
These changes don't affect any single or return tickets (where available) that are fixed at £2 maximum single or £4 maximum return as a part of HM Government's £2 Single Fares Cap which continues until 31st October 2023. You can find out more about that scheme at www.gov.uk/guidance/2-bus-fare-cap.
