Paying and tapping your card

For First Bus adult Tap On Tap Off, tap the driver's reader when boarding and tap off when leaving. Use exactly the same bank card or device for both taps and subsequent journeys.

How to buy a ticket

Compare the operator's current single, day and group tickets for your route. Check the fare zone and Park & Ride conditions before buying; a ticket for one operator is not automatically valid on another.

Finding the right fare

Open First Bus's fare finder for current prices and fare zones. Other operators and train journeys have their own tickets and payment rules.
