Services With Return Tickets Available

We remain committed to offering multi-journey tickets, ensuring excellent value for money. Customers alsocontinue to benefit from hassle free travel by using the Pay As You Go payment system. By tapping on and off to pay for their travel, customers will automatically benefit from capped daily and weekly travel, ensuring they never pay more than they need. 

Pay As You Go is a flexible way to buy your bus tickets, just tap on when you board, tap off when you get off, and we'll do the rest. Simply tap your contactless payment card or device (smartphone or watch) on the ticket machine reader when you get on the bus. Then, use the same card or device to tap off on the separate reader when you get off.  Our system can tell if you've used a specific device or card. So, make sure you tap on and off with the same payment method. This means if you tapped on using Apple Pay on your iPhone, you must tap off with the same iPhone using Apple Pay.

The cost of your bus journey is worked out for you automatically, using your tap on and tap off to calculate the correct fare. With our daily and weekly caps*, you'll never pay more than the equivalent ticket. You can use our ticket finder to get more information on the cost of single trips.

We will be removing some return tickets from sale for adult fares on select services. Child and mytravelpass fares will continue to offer a return option. Please see below the full list of services that will continue to offer returns.
