From Sunday 31st March 2024, our bus and tram fares are changing.

We’re also introducing a subscription price freeze as a reward for our existing customers who travel frequently with us! More on subscriptions below… 

Delivering high value, reliable public transport is always our priority, and these small changes to some of our tickets will allow us to continue doing just that. Our 30-day tickets are still only £2.67 a day for unlimited travel on our whole network - that’s without taking advantage of the subscription freeze below!

We’re freezing your subscriptions…

Tickets staying the same great value

Fares may be changing but we’re keeping select tickets exactly as they are! 

Group tickets

Single bus tickets 

Our adult single bus tickets are still locked in at just £2 until 31st December 2024 under the Government’s £2 Fare Cap! So, you can still explore anywhere on the Fylde Coast for £2 only!
