Fares
From 16th February 2025*, we are making some changes to some of our fares and tickets in the Solent area.
This is based on customer feedback, and we’re making our Single fares easier to understand through the use of fare stages on our routes. We’re also making it easier for our drivers to issue change for Child products to help speed up your journey, by ensuring that no fares end in 5 pence.
We are pleased to announce the launch of our First Hampshire Evening Saver on the First Bus App, and Child customers can now benefit from a range of Month passes available for each of our zones. By renaming our “Eclipse” products, we are keen to ensure that this product better reflects the unlimited travel in the Fareham and Gosport area which these tickets offer.

Take the guesswork out of what ticket you need and let us do the work!
Use your contactless device - bank card, smartphone or smartwatch - to pay for travel when you board and you’ll never pay more than the daily or weekly cap, however many trips you make as long as you always remember to tap off as you leave the bus. And if you only make one short hop, you’ll only be charged for that.This means you can be confident that if your plans change and you have to make more journeys, you’ll never be paying more than you should.
