£1.80 for an adult, £1.20 student and £0.90p for a child fare. I remember in 2002 the adult fare was £1 and child fare was 50p and then it steadily grew by 10p for child fare. :\ Even though a Stagecoach dayrider is like £3.40 and you can use them on certain Arriva buses too.

But I use the train to get to where I need to, for free without paying as I've found a nice little loophole in the train station designs. :3

I pay £40 per month for my sons bus pass ... it was £35.00 last year ..
But if i get the buss that comes from Preston it would cost me £2.80 return

Near me there are 2 buses that use virtually the same route, but one is £1.70 and the other is £2.40, they are operated by different companies.

all companies using the same route should charge the same price imo

If one of them is 'Stagecoach' the other one will be off the road soon. We've always had stagecoach up here and then there was another company started a service and of course the price war started. But every time the other company put their fares down, stagecoach put them down further...............which being a large company they could afford to do. In the end the other company was forced to give up and stagecoach slammed their prices right back up again. They now have the monopoly.............and they charge like the Gordon Highlanders.

It doesn't affect me directly right enough as I'm over 60 and have bus pass. Bus fares - are they too high in your area? 795854

You guys got your fares pretty cheap really, especially with the fuel costs these days...
