Fare changes from Monday 21 November
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 a minimum and some fares are not changing at all.
The best value tickets for regular travellers are on our app. And for those that buy singles or dayriders we recommend you use tap on tap off contactless, for paperless ticketing.
Most of our single and return fares will increase by between 10p and 50p and a few will change by other amounts.

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 Some ticket types that are withdrawn are available on our app.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:
