Passengers urged to “Get on Board” as bus fares go down

The cost-of-living crisis is biting but there’s good news on the buses with new fares. From Sunday 25 September, an adult single in Bristol and Bath is reducing to £2 and outside of the cities, there will be sizeable cost reductions too. For single journeys adults will now pay a maximum of £3.70 and less for shorter trips. It’s also now just £1 for children to travel right across the region.

The West of England has ambitious net-zero targets we want to reach by 2030. That’s going to mean everyone doing their bit. Currently 16% of UK emissions are caused by cars so if more people get on board and use the bus that will make a big difference.

The West of England has some fantastic local attractions to visit, and you can explore many of them by bus. Take advantage of the new £1 fare and take your children to Bristol Aquarium on the 8 bus; or maybe you want to get out and enjoy the countryside or a tourist attraction in the World Heritage Site of Bath.
