Bus fares and reliability

Following a consultation, First Bus have announced new fares for our area. The main changes are:

• The cost of single tickets will be based on the distance you travel within your chosen area.
• There will be no return tickets but First Day tickets will still be available and are probably the best option for multiple journeys.
• Up to 2 children under five travel free with each fare-paying adult or young person.
• There will be a 50% discount for children aged 5-15.
• There will be a 30% discount for 16-21 year olds and students.

You can find out more on what's changing and the fares in our area online.

Cheaper fares make bus travel more attractive, but what's your experience of the reliability? We're hearing stories of delays on some services. If you regularly experience problems, please send us details. 

Bus fare consultation

First Bus have started a consultation on fares, which runs until 16th March. More information about the consultation can be found at www.fairerfaresforall.co.uk and hard copy questionnaires will be available on buses, in libraries, in council one-stop-shops and in First’s own travel shops. There will also be a series of roadshows.
