Newport Bus has announced its first price increases in three years. The operator has announced that from Sunday, April 23 their bus fares will increase across the network for the first time since January 2020.
They said the decision was "a direct result of the rising costs of operating the business, including challenging fuel and electricity costs." Cardiff Bus have also recently increased their bus fares which you can read about here.
The increase in fares across Newport Bus will increase at an average of 30p and an all-day ticket will still be less than £5, which the company said would ensure that transport by bus is still one of the cheapest city travel options. Child tickets will no longer be a different price than youth tickets as the company will change both fares to the same price.
