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
