Bus fares guide for Derbyshire
A guide to bus fares in and around Derbyshire.
Bus fares are usually set by the company operating the service.
A guide to Adult Single Fares between the main towns in Derbyshire is available in the related documents section on this page.
You can always buy a single ticket for your journey from the bus driver, but there are cheaper options for regular travellers and concessions are available for some people.
Return tickets
Return tickets are available in most cases, and are usually cheaper than two single tickets.
However, they can generally only be used to come back on buses run by the same company.
On journeys operated under contract to us valid day return tickets issued by any operator are accepted.
Children's fares
Children's fares are usually half to two thirds of the adult fares.
Children aged 14 or over need a b_line card (opens in a new window) to obtain the reduction.
Student discounts
Students reductions (normally one third) are available for young people in full-time education who live in Derbyshire, with a b_line card (opens in a new window).
Older people
Residents of England aged 60 or more (depending on your date of birth), or with certain disabilities, are entitled to free travel at most times.
To obtain this, an English National Concessionary Travel Scheme pass such as the Derbyshire Gold Card is required.
Season tickets
Season tickets and multi-journey tickets are available on many services, offering savings for regular travellers.
These include tickets such as the Stagecoach "MegaRider", the Trent Barton "Frio" and various others.
For details of the available tickets, contact the appropriate bus company.
Rover tickets
Rover tickets such as the Derbyshire Wayfarer can often be the cheapest and most flexible option for a day's travel involving a number of journeys.
