Bus company trentbarton is set to increase its bus fares this weekend. The firm said the change comes as the cost of fuel, parts and wages rise.
The new fare prices will come into force from January 22. It means the adult mango off-peak day cap is up by 50p and the mango anytime day cap up 20p.
The adult mango off-peak ticket will rise to £6.80 compared to the current £6.30. The adult mango anytime day ticket will be priced at £10.30 compared to £10.10.

An adult zigzag ticket will cost passengers £7.60 instead of £7. The two person zigzag duo will go from £12 to £13 and the five person zigzag group ticket will rise from £16 to £17.
Prices being frozen include the young explorer at £1 and the £3.50 zigzag plus add-on which includes morning peak travel. Tom Morgan, group commercial director at trentbarton, said: "We are paying considerably more than we were to reward our staff and for fuel and parts.
"For our services to remain viable, we have had to increase fares. We recognise the pressures everyone is under, but we hope our customers will be reassured that we have worked very hard to keep the average increases below inflation.
"Customers not yet using our mango app can lessen the impact by making the switch to access a wide range of discounts." Until the end of March, customers can take advantage of the Government-backed £2 single fare cap on all trentbarton services except for red arrow. The discount is included in the mango app and contactless day, week and 28-day automatic caps.
