Fare changes from 14th July

We're simplifying our ticket range and introducing some fare changes across our services from 14th July.

This is part of our regular annual review so we can continue developing a sustainable bus network, keeping bus travel affordable and helping customers as we manage rising costs and maintain investment.

Our Single tickets will remain capped at £2 as part of the Gov bus fare cap and is a value-packed way to get to where you need to be! You can purchase your Single ticket on the bus through cash, contactless or Tap on Tap off, or on the First Bus App.

For the cheapest Single fare and most flexible way to travel, simply 'Tap on' your bus with a card or mobile device on the ticket machine by your driver and 'Tap off' your bus using the same card/device on the reader attached to the pole as you exit. You can pay as you go, and save as you go - find out more about Tap on Tap off here.
