The arrival of £2 fares on buses around the North East means you may be better off choosing to buy two singles rather than a day ticket on some routes.
A £2 fare cap for single bus tickets is in place for most routes in England until March 31, 2023. The Department for Transport said it is spending £60m to subsidise bus travel in the early part of the year. Adult fares are capped at £2 for single tickets.
Passengers making a return journey may be able to save money on some routes by choosing to buy two single tickets. In Newcastle, Stagecoach North East does not offer return tickets. Instead, passengers can choose to buy singles or day tickets for return journeys.
