Fares Change from Monday 31st October
3 years ago
The cost of running our bus services has significantly increased. This has meant we have had to review the cost of our fares, and have reluctantly increased some ticket prices. This is not a decision we have taken lightly. We have kept any prices rises to an absolute minimum.
Our single adult fares will increase by approximately 10p, 20p or 30p. Child singles will increase to short hop £1.50, medium hop £2.10, long hop £2.70 and period passes and multi-trip bundles will also have increases,
The good news is our £10 adult day rover will remain unchanged.
The best value tickets are available via our mobile app. For single and day tickets we recommend you use Tap On Tap Off paperless ticketing.

You will notice some prices are more expensive on our smartcard theKey, which is now over 10 years old and is considered old technology. Cheaper ticket prices are often found on our app.
theKey system is no longer being developed or supported and of late we have sadly experienced some technical issues causing inconvenience to some of our customers. Therefore, we are phasing out this method of buying bus tickets over the coming months. By the beginning of summer 2023 it will be discontinued. This will be a gradual process. Initially we will stop selling ticket types with very low sales. Some ticket types that are withdrawn are available on our app.
Many customers have already converted to our app which has many other great features, such as:
- Journey planning
- Tracking buses in live times
- Favouriting your regular bus stops and journeys
We have several newer convenient ways to pay, including:
- mobile app ticketing
- contactless
- tap on tap off
If you would like support in converting to the app, our team in the travel shops are more than happy to run you through a demonstration.
