Single fares £3 or less

We’re pleased to be taking part in the national £3 fare cap until 31st December 2025! This means that no matter how far you are travelling, the maximum you will currently pay on one of our bus services for a single journey is £3.

The easiest way to make sure you pay the correct fare is to use our simple Tap-On-Tap-Off contactless service for adult tickets. We also provide a special £3 single fare via our mobile app* which can be purchased in advance and activated at the bus stop as your bus approaches. For your convenience, we also accept cash although we encourage you to have the correct change as we can’t always guarantee availability of coins. For more information about our contactless payments, see our page here. For more information around our mobile app, see our page here. For more information on cash payments, see our page here.

Some shorter journeys may be less than £3 – For details please see our journey planner here.

Please be aware that the £3 fare cap is not reduced for children. Child single fares on buses are generally half the adult fare for tickets, the cap is not reduced and remains at £3.
