Purchasing a Ticket
A completed application form is required. This can be
downloaded from the website, or if you are on the waiting
list I'll send you a partially completed form once a seat is
allocated. The form will need to be completed, signed, and posted. A
recent 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 annual
ticket
Purchase a 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).
-
This applies to full time, AM or PM, or exam
tickets (see below). Can also apply to custom tickets, if the
booked travel slots don't change during the school year.
-
Mornings only / Afternoons only
Available at three-quarters normal rate (rounded up).
-
Summer term exam tickets
In the summer term these tickets allow travel on the bus up
until half-term. They suit passengers taking public exams. The
tickets are available at three-quarters 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 £330 for the term from September
2012
- Child 2 pays £300 (discount of £30)
- Child 3 pays £270 (discount of £60)
- Child 4 pays £210 (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, and
availability is very limited as the bus is invariably
full, 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, and the seat booked in advance. Tickets can not be purchased from the driver.
-
For the latest information, please see the
Single Ticket
page on this website.
-
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).
-
Replacement Tickets
Will cost £10
-
