From
30th March 2025, we're introducing changes to our fares, the new prices follow adjustments to the Mayor’s Fares scheme in West Yorkshire.
We’re also simplifying the way we charge our customers to make it fairer for everyone, meaning single journeys will cost either £2.00 or £2.50, depending on the distance travelled.
But don’t worry – you won’t have to figure this out for yourself. By using
Tap On Tap Off, we’ll do the heavy lifting for you, working out the best value fare based on your journey. And no matter how often you travel, you’ll never pay more than the daily or 7 day cap.
We’re even working with your Local Authorities behind the scenes to keep fares lower wherever we can, so we can continue to offer a great value service that benefits both society and the environment.
So whether it’s getting you to work on time, saving you from the car park shuffle, or simply giving you a moment to chill out and people-watch, the bus is still here for you.
Any tickets not referenced below, will not be changing in price.
You can find details of our new fares below.
