Single trip tickets 5
 

  • Purchasing a Ticket
    Please download the booking form, fill in and post. A passport style photo by e-mail (or post) is also required for the bus ticket.

  • Payment Method
    Payment is to be by debit or credit card please. If you chose credit card, there will be an additional charge of 3% to cover the transaction fee.

  • 5% discount on full-time annual ticket
    Purchase a full-time ticket at the start of the school year for all three terms with a DEBIT card, and receive a 5% discount (not applicable on the cross-Oxford £150 ticket which is already discounted at 8%). Use a CREDIT card and it is the same as a 2% discount (5% discount less the 3% credit card surcharge).

  • Mornings only / Afternoons only
    Available at two-thirds normal rate (rounded up).

  • Sibling discount
    Discounts are available of between £20 and £40 on full-time tickets for a brother or sister booked on the bus at the same time, with the same home address. (This discount only applies on journeys which start from Nettlebed through Wheatley, it does not apply to the "across city" tickets).

    The second sibling gets double the discount.

    The third gets double the discount again.

    The fourth sibling travels free.

    Remember - this is only for siblings on full tickets when booked on the bus at the same time.

    Example (Chalgrove):
    - Child 1 pays a full fare of £300 for the term from September 2009
    - Child 2 pays £270 (discount of £30)
    - Child 3 pays £240 (discount of £60)
    - Child 4 pays £180 (discount of £120)
    - Child 5 pays nothing

  • Custom travel
    You can customise a ticket if you have wish, and here's how. In one week there are 10 travel slots - Monday to Friday mornings, and Monday to Friday afternoons. Chose up to four slots, and pay 16% per slot (rounded up). Chose five to seven slots, and pay 14% per slot (rounded up). If you require eight or more slots, you need to purchase a full ticket.

  • Example:
    Child to travel Monday and Wednesday morning, and Thursday afternoon (i.e. 3 times a week).
        Full fare = £300 per term.
        A slot (at the rate for 1-4 slots per week)  is 16% of £300, which is £48.
        Price = 3 x £48 = £144 per term.

  • Single Trip Ticket - Occasional Travel
    Subject to availability, one-ride tickets (£5) can be purchased for any stop. The ticket will allow one child to make one journey, morning or evening. If your child needed to use the bus on one day to get to and from school, you will need two such tickets costing £10 in total. Tickets will need to be purchased in advance. They can not be purchased from the driver.  It may transpire the best approach is for you to buy several of these for use on any day and keep them for when you need them (bringing a friend home, occasional afternoon travel when the ticket is morning only, etc).

  • Summer half-term tickets
    For the summer term, to allow for exams, tickets for the first half of the term only are available at two-thirds of the term price (rounded up).

  • Replacement Tickets
    Will cost £10
