Our INCREDIBLE , Stephen Duffy! 🚌

Stephen received a lovely compliment from one of our passengers:

👏 "Just wanted to thank the bus driver for the consideration he showed my Dad when travelling on the bus. My father is elderly and uses a walking frame.

🥰 He's always a bit anxious getting on and off buses but this driver ensured the bus was lowered to pavement height to assist my dad and was friendly and patient towards him.

❤️ I wanted to say THANK YOU! Little things can make the biggest difference!"

❗️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ❗️

From 2 January 2025 there will be changes to our fares.

Since January 2023, most adult single fares have been capped by the UK Government at £2. However, from January 2025, single fares will be capped at £2.50 across almost all bus services in Tyne & Wear, County Durham and Northumberland.

Keep in mind that some of our adult single fares will be less than £2.50, and cheap fares for under-22s won't change – the £1 single and £3 day ticket will continue to provide excellent value for money!

This new fare cap is being funded jointly by the North East Combined Authority’s Bus Service Improvement Plan and the Department for Transport’s National Bus Fare Cap grant.
