Bedfordshire tickets

You’ll find our fares in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes are great value for money, whether you travel every day or just now and then. It's easy to pay, too - use cash or contactless when you get on, or buy in advance on our mobile app. 

Children under 5 travel free, when accompanied, and those aged 5-15 save around a third on single and return tickets. If you're a student at the University of Cranfield get discounted travel too - click here to find out more.

If you're making a one-way journey, ask the driver for a single. Prices vary depending how far you're going. If you're coming back the same day, our day tickets are usually best value and mean you hop on and off as much as you like all day. Our bundle tickets are great value and don't have to be used on consecutive days - just activate them on the days you travel. Plus, there's no expiry date.

If you're going in a group, buy a group day rover - up to 4 people can travel together all day.
