Paying and tapping your card

There is no single Scotland-wide bank-card tap-and-go fare. Each operator has its own payment and ticket rules.

How to buy a ticket

Use the operator shown in the journey result to check prices and buy tickets. Ferries and long-distance coaches may need a reservation.

Finding the right fare

Check the linked operator for the fare on your chosen route and date. Compare single, return and day-ticket options where available; booking, baggage and reservation conditions can differ.
