Single tickets

From 1 January 2025, the government single fare cap is rising to £3, however many of our fares will remain below £3. Student and young people can get tickets discounted by up to 10% on the First Bus app.

A flat fare structure is in place in the Bath, Bristol and Weston-super-Mare Zones. This means that wherever you travel in that zone, the price of a single journey will be the same. 

In the West of England Zone the cost of your single ticket is based on the distance you travel.
