Bus travel offers and discounts

There are several schemes we are currently operating that give discounts or rewards on bus travel.

Single bus fare cap

Until 31 December 2025 a single bus journey will cost no more than £3 on most routes across Buckinghamshire.

  • Arriva
  • Carousel Buses (including the Wycombe Pick Me Up service)
