Some bus fares in Cornwall will be increasing from Sunday 29 September. We’ve been subsidising fares to keep them at reduced prices since we introduced our Bus Fares Pilot in April 2022, allowing passengers to save millions of pounds. But rises in operating costs mean that you will now see a small change in the price of some of our fares.

We’ve also looked at which products are most important to you, our customers, and as a result we are simplifying the selection of tickets you can buy.

The full list of affected fares can be seen below. Bus operators continue to work with Cornwall Council and Department for Transport to cap all single bus tickets at £2 until 31 December 2024 with funding from HM Government Help for Households, while under 5s can still travel for free.
