Paying and tapping your card

Whippet advertises adult Tap On Tap Off on all its buses: use the same card or device when boarding and leaving. Do not apply that rule automatically to Stagecoach Cambridge; follow the operator's ticket instructions.

How to buy a ticket

On Stagecoach, ask the driver for your single or return ticket and pay by contactless, or use its ticket app. Compare day and group products where appropriate. Buying a ticket with a bank card does not itself mean automatic fare capping.

Finding the right fare

Compare current single, day and Park & Ride products on the operator’s fare pages. Check the operator and route before buying; tickets are not automatically interchangeable.
