Bus fare changes improve travel into Bath area
First bus fares changed a couple of months ago. As regular bus users will already know, apart from a few exceptions like Park and Ride, there are no longer any return fares. Instead you can buy a Day Ticket for the zone involved, or buy a 10 Journey ticket for ten journeys. Week, month and year tickets are also available if you're going to be travelling regularly.
The latest change will be of interest to people who travel from Yate or Chipping Sodbury to the Bath area. Yate and Chipping Sodbury are now within the Bath Outer Zone, as well as the Bristol Outer Zone. So you could buy a Bath Outer Zone Day Ticket for example, and get return bus travel from Yate or Sodbury via Bath to Frome or Chippenham.
More details on the Bath fares are shown here
The main First Bus website fares page is here but it hasn't caught up with the "Bath Outer Zone" change yet.
These tickets only apply to First Bus services - if you want to mix and match with other operators, you will need an AvonRider ticket.
Roll on fully interchangeable bus tickets - it's about time that this restriction was removed.
