Tap to learn more. How to pay for tickets? Travel as much as you want on our buses with the same contactless card or device and we’ll work out the cheapest daily or weekly adult fare for you. Where you see the symbol below, this means that fares for applicable adult journeys will be automatically capped at the price stated. Buy paper tickets using contactless, including child and family tickets. You can also pay for groups – just tell the driver which tickets you need before presenting your card or device when prompted. Our adult and family tickets can be bought in advance on our m-tickets app. Some discounted ticket bundles are also available. Please be aware that the exact fare is needed when paying with cash on our buses because our drivers cannot give change.
