Fares are changing across Konectbus routes starting January 1st 2025

From January 2025, the UK Government's cap on most adult single bus fares will rise from £2 to £3. Despite this increase, Konectbus will continue to provide passengers with great value when travelling across its services. 

Simplified Ticket Options 

Starting in 2025, Konectbus will offer a simplified range of tickets designed to suit all types of passengers. These include: 

• Adult 
• Young Persons (ages 5-19; under 5s travel free) 
• Groups
• University Students 
• School & College Students 

Whether you're travelling solo, with friends, or as a group, you'll find affordable options, including single, day, group, and zonal tickets. 

Great Savings on Day and Group Tickets 

Group tickets 

• Previously known as Family Tickets, Group Tickets now cater to groups of up to five people, with at least one and up to two adults (aged 19+). Passengers can continue to save 25% on Group Day Tickets until March 2025, thanks to Norfolk County Council’s BSIP fund. 

Day Tickets 

• Replacing return tickets on many routes, Day Tickets will offer better value than two single fares, even under the new £3 Government cap. 

Short Journeys 

• For example, travel between Norwich Rail Station and Norwich Bus Station for just £1.50. Young persons save up to 25% on selected routes. 

Cross-City Journeys 

• Travel across the city, such as to the University of East Anglia or Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, for a flat fare of £2.50 (young persons pay just £2). 

Longer Journeys 

• Outer-link journeys will be capped at the Government’s £3 maximum fare for adults. 

Flexible Weekly and Monthly Tickets 

• Discounted Weekly and 30-day tickets will continue to be available via the Konectbus app. Subscription ticketing is encouraged for greater convenience and financial planning. 
• Young Persons Weekly Tickets will remain on many routes, although Adult Weekly point-to-point and Family return point-to-point tickets will be discontinued.
