Children’s Silver Day tickets will also go up in price from £3.40 to £3.70 per day. Group tickets will go up from £15 to £16 as well.

The bus provider will also no longer offer return tickets. Customers traveling to and from their destination are advised to buy two single £2 tickets instead.

A spokesperson for Stagecoach said: “We work very hard to keep Stagecoach fares as low as possible and they still represent great value compared to the costs of running a car.”

Any single bus journey will still cost a maximum of £2 due to the single-capped fare scheme. Gold tickets will remain unchanged until March 2024.
