Bus Tickets & Fares Bargains

Money saving bus fare bargains from bakerbus !

In these difficult times, we understand how important it is to continue to offer bargain fares and so we have put together a summary of everything on offer, which we hope will be useful.

BUS TICKETS

 At the present time, all our bus fares must be purchased on the bus from the driver. Our fares are generally based on distance traveled and our “Bargain Day Return” tickets between main points are printed within our timetable leaflets. There are literally thousands of bus fares for all our bus services and there are just too many to publish them all, with no simple way to display them in any “user friendly” format, but we do welcome email or telephone enquiries, so that you can always know the correct fare BEFORE you travel, if you wish.

CONTACTING US

Our email address is info@bakerbus.co.uk  or call our telephone help line on 01782 522101 during office hours, Mondays to Fridays 0845 – 1715, Saturdays 0900 – 1630, (closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays). Your call will be answered directly by a friendly member of our own staff.

SINGLE and DAY RETURN JOURNEYS

We offer best value adult single fares, which start at 50p on some services and (same) Day Returns start at £1.10. Many of our services also have special promotional day return fares and we believe, always cheaper than our competitors. If not, please let us know !

CHILDRENS’ FARES

Under fives travel free and from their fifth birthday until their sixteenth birthday, there are special child fares, which are roughly two thirds of the adult fare. On and after their sixteenth birthday, the adult fare is then payable, EXCEPT if they remain in full time education and a college or university identity card is presented to the driver. They are then eligible to continue to pay the child or any special student fare. Child fares start at 30p single and 80p (same) day return and “capped” to a MAXIMIM child fares of £1.50 single, £2.00 day return and £10 Ten Trip Ticket. 

CONCESSIONARY TRAVEL FOR SENIOR CITIZENS

Since 01 April 2008 senior citizens over 60 years of age, and holders of valid local authority passes, may travel free of charge at all times for journeys commencing in Staffordshire, and after 09:30 for journeys commencing in Cheshire on Mondays to Fridays. Half fare is payable before 09:30 on Mondays to Fridays, and free of charge at all other times. A "bus pass" (obtainable from local councils) must be shown to the driver on each occasion and a special ticket will be issued for each journey. These passes are also now valid for free travel anywhere in England after 09:30, but special local conditions may apply at other times. Please contact the local authority concerned for full details.
