Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the £2 bus fare cap?
Since January 1st 2023, the cost of an adult single bus fare continues to be a maximum of £2 in England outside London.
This is funded by the Government to help ease cost of living pressures.
The cap helps people save money on their travel costs and will encourage more people to choose buses for local journeys and beyond.
Which journeys does it cover?
The £2 single fare covers most journeys which Konectbus (see above) and other local bus operators run.
Is there a maximum distance?
No, there isn’t a maximum distance. But the cap only covers local buses – it doesn’t cover inter-city coach journeys.
Is every bus company taking part?
The following bus operators across Norfolk will be taking part in the scheme. To see what services are included, please visit their websites linked below:
What payment methods are included?
All payment methods are included. It doesn’t matter whether you’re paying cash, by bank card, using an app or a smartcard – you won’t be charged more than £2.
My usual fare is below £2. Does this mean it will go up to £2?
Fares below £2 will remain unchanged so you will not pay any more than usual for your journey.
Does this cap cover child fares as well as adult fares?
The cap applies to all single fares – but very few child fares are over £2.
I have a concessionary ticket and get free/discounted travel. Will I have to pay £2?
Nobody will pay more than they usually do for a journey. If you were previously paying less than £2, or if your journey was free of charge, nothing changes.
I usually get a weekly ticket for my journey. Am I better off paying £2 for individual journeys?
Our weekly tickets provide you with a fantastic discount on your journeys, enabling you to travel for 7 days for the price of 3.5. Therefore, these tickets still remain a cost-effective way for regular and frequent passengers to travel compared to the £2 fare scheme.
What happens if I change buses – do I have to pay £2 twice?
Yes you do. The fare cap only applies to a journey on a single bus.
How long does the offer last?
The offer runs until midnight on the 30th April 2024
