National bus fare caps

The national £2 bus fare cap will be ending on 31 December 2024, to be replaced by a £3 fare cap on 1 January 2025. This means that the maximum single bus fare will be £3 with participating operators. 

Bus operators in East Sussex will be offering fares lower than £3 for shorter journeys. Please check on the bus operators websites for more details towards the end of December.
