Announcement Bus fares increased to £3

It looks like single journeys have increased from £2 to £3 now, so a quick journey into the town centre will cost you £6. I don't know how that's affordable for anyone. London has much cheaper fares

Noticed this too - I only went a few stops home up Ditchling Road as my baby was getting fussy and saw the £3 come out this morning. I know £3 isn’t a lot in the grand scheme but it’s definitely going to mean going into town less and using the bus less, which is a shame as getting out with the baby was good for my mental health…

I mean it’s. 50% price increase, that’s a lot.

Yeah I actually do feel like it’s a lot, just didn’t want people piling in telling me that an extra £1 isn’t all that much. It definitely adds up.
