Changes to fares from Sunday 6th February
8 years ago
We have carefully reviewed the cost of running our services, after a challenging two years, and have reluctantly increased some ticket prices.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly. We have kept any prices rises to an absolute minimum. Our single and day adult fares will increase by 10p but our child single remains unchanged.
This is our first rise since 2019 - and our ticket prices still compare very favourably. Discounts are available for students and staff of the University of Southampton.
Some of our period passes have slightly increased with the best value tickets being available via our app.
For single and day tickets we recommend you use Tap On Tap Off paperless ticketing.
Our new prices are below:
| Adult Single | Child Single | U1N Single |
| £2.30 | £1.50 | £2.60 |
If you need to use the bus more than once in the day, a Southampton Zone Dayrider will be the cheaper travel option:
| Adult Dayrider | Child Dayrider |
| £3.80 | £3.00 |
