Fares
We have a range of tickets for travel on our buses, so whether you travel every day or just now and then there's something for you.
We accept cash and contactless, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, on all our buses. You can also pay with Express Mode from Apply Pay. If you're paying with cash, please try to have the right money as our drivers may not always have change for you. Or use Tap on, Tap off - the easy way to get the best-value adult fare.

If you're only going one-way, ask the driver for a single ticket - at the moment, the maximum single fare is £2.50 thanks to local funding from the CPCA.
If you're coming back the same day, ask for a return. For most journeys, one of our day tickets will be best value for money - ask the driver if you're not sure.
There are discounts for children aged 5-15, and students with any valid student ID or NUS card. Plus, if you're under 25 and a resident in Cambridgeshire, apply for a Tiger pass from the CPCA and travel for just £1 a journey. Click here to find out more.
We accept all valid English concessionary bus passes for free travel on any of our routes. They're valid after 0930 on weekdays, and any time on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays - just tap your card on the reader when you get on the bus. Click here to find out more and apply online. If you have a Cambridgeshire & Peterborough concessionary pass, they're valid all day for free travel.
