Passengers across Cambridgeshire are facing fare increases for 2023. A ticket from Histon and Impington to central Cambridge (Town Zone) will now cost £4.50 per day with the DayRider option, or £2.25 per day with the best value option, a MegaRider Xtra.
From Cottenham to Cambridge (Plus Zone), a DayRider ticket will increase to £7 per day, while the 28-day value ticket rises to £3.50 per day.
Across the region, the hikes add an average of 39p onto the cost of daily adult bus travel.
Each of the region’s zones has the same ticket options available as before, but pricing structures may vary to reflect the distance travelled in each zone.
There is better news for passengers travelling via Park & Ride from sites around Cambridge, with prices there remaining frozen for the seventh year in a row. Return tickets at all sites, including Milton, start at £3.50 and children under 16 can still travel for free with a fare-paying passenger.
Also, despite the hikes, all single bus fares are capped at £2 across the network between January and March 2023 as part of a Government scheme to help combat the rising cost of living.
Stagecoach commented: “Fares contribute to the day-to-day running of our services as well as investment in improvements for our communities. While part of this is down to rising costs, we’ve also been making important investments to give you an even better experience”.
