Fares

On our town service buses, like those of other major cities, we ask for the exact fare to be tendered to speed the loading of buses and reduce accountancy costs. However, if you do not have the exact fare, change can be given in the form of a credit ticket. This credit ticket can be refunded at the Tower Ramparts Enquiry Office, within 28 days of its issue. Credit tickets can also be used to pay for your bus travel. If the ticket is less than the value of your bus fare, simply pay the difference with cash. If the ticket is more than your bus fare, you must be prepared to forego the difference or pay cash and have your credit ticket refunded as previously stated. Besides cash fares, there is a day ticket and a range of weekly and monthly season tickets.

SmartCard

We have a very "smart" card which we have obviously called our SmartCard.
Essentially we can magnetically attach any offers to the card. You can give us cash or cheques or credit cards and we can attach credit of your choosing to the card.
The card can then be used to pay on any of our buses AND will give you a warning when the credit begins to run low. Find out more by clicking the button or calling us on:
