The most convenient way to pay for your travel on our services is to use our capped contactless payment scheme, TapTapCap – let us work out the cheapest adult daily or weekly fare for you! Just tap your contactless card or device when you get on one of our buses (there’s no need to tap again when you get off the bus). Use the same card or device all day or all week to automatically benefit from daily or weekly capping (Mon-Sun). Your card or device is your ticket, so one per person.
If paying by cash, make sure you have coins with you before getting on the bus. You will need to have the exact money as our drivers cannot give you change.
