THE £2 single bus fare promotion has now been extended until Friday 30th June, so you can enjoy cheap travel until the summer.
The fare price reduction has been funded by the government and is aimed at getting more people to use buses across the country during the current cost of living challenges.
Many single bus fares throughout Somerset have been capped at just £2 for both adults and concessions. If the single fare was originally less than £2, it will remain at the reduced price, and many day return tickets have also been reduced.
Somerset County Council and the Somerset Bus Partnership have launched the ‘Bus It’ campaign to encourage more people to use bus services at a time when many routes are under threat due to lack of use.
It’s hoped the new £2 fare will provide a major boost to patronage and support these aims. The six operators involved are: ATWEST, Bakers Dolphin, Community Transport (South West) Ltd, FromeBus, Libra Travel, Mendip Community Transport, Somerset County Council, Dartline, Faresaver Buses, First South West (Buses of Somerset), First West of England, Hatch Green Coaches and South West Coaches.
