In September, the government announced a new incentive for public transport customers by capping single adult journey bus fares at £2 from 1 January 2023 until 31 March 2023.
From January, Blackpool Transport will be taking part in the government’s scheme to help customers pay less to travel by bus this winter, meaning that all single adult bus fares will be £2 per journey no matter where you travel to or from.
This fare cap includes travel on our tendered 74 and 75 services between Fleetwood and Preston, so for short hops into town or a wider adventure further afield, your single fare will be just £2. Fares under £2 will stay the same.
As the scheme does not extend to light rail travel, they are unable to offer the capped fares on trams. Additionally, the prices of saver tickets will not change.
To purchase the capped £2 fare on our buses, ask your driver for a single fare to your destination. You can then pay onboard using contactless card payments or with cash.
The fare capping period follows the National Bus Back Better scheme, the national strategy which will see your local bus services improve with the introduction of zero-emission buses for Blackpool next year.
