Bristol divided as First Bus introduces new bus fares this weekend

The people of Bristol and the surrounding areas have spoken out about the new bus fares being introduced across the region. A £2 flat fare for a single journey will be in place for the first time from Sunday (September 25) when the company rolls out the new prices along routes in Bristol, Bath and the West of England.

Return fares in Bristol will also reduce from £4.30 to £3.50 and single bus tickets in Weston-super-Mare will remain at £1.60. Child single tickets will also be capped at £1.

The price changes will mean there is no cheaper fare for the three-stop hop ticket, however, which is rising from £1.50 to £2, meaning there is not a cheaper fare for the shorter journey. Bristol day fares will also rise from £5.30 to £6 and a Bristol week pass for the bus will change from £21.50 to £23.50 - more details here.
