BUS AND TRAM FARE CAP
Any one-way ride. Any bus or tram. Anywhere in South Yorkshire.
You'll pay a maximum of £2 on your bus or tram journey with new capped single fares. This will save customers up to 50% on some trips and reduce the cost of over 700,000 journeys that currently cost more than £2.
Bus and tram ticket prices
- £2 adult - any one-way ride on bus or tram anywhere in South Yorkshire.

Help for Households
The Government's fare cap introduced on 1 January 2023, is an extension to the price freeze South Yorkshire residents have benefitted from, since the Mayor's Fare was introduced in November 2022.
The national £2 capped fare applies until 31 October 2023, after which it will rise to £2.50 until 30 November 2024.
