Primary School MyBus services

Cash fare is £1.00 for a single one-way journey across all routes.

For regular users, there is the option of a £8.00 weekly ticket that can be purchased from the driver.

NB: the £8.00 fare is a weekly season ticket and is valid for one school week Monday to Friday only. It can only be purchased on the first journey made each Monday. Refunds are not available if the ticket is unused/partially used nor may be carried over to another week.

The MyDay, MyWeek and MyMonth tickets listed above under the secondary school heading are also valid.

Contactless card payments

Most bus operators accept contactless debit cards instead of using cash. All the large bus operators such as First, Arriva and Transdev allow contactless as well as many of the small, independent operators. If you are unsure whether the operator of your service does allow contactles payments, please contact them for advice.
