Ticketing
A number of different fare options are available on the services, to provide differing ticketing options for users.
The standards fares are single and returns. A single is a one-way ticket for one journey only, a day return is a ticket for one journey in each direction. It is cheaper that two singles and currently costs £2.60 per (adult) passenger.
Smartcard technology is used on the network of services. Smarteds with a stored value can be used to purchase single and return tickets for a reduced price than the standard. Weekly and monthly smartcards are also available, aimed at commuters who use them as season tickets.
The final fare type is the "minsterCARD". This enables passengers to save 30p for each journey when £5 is paid in advance.
Most tickets can be bought on the bus, but the more expensive and complex weekly and monthly smartcards and minsterCARD are available only from the site offices.
