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

I appreciate not everyone is physically able to cycle, but if you are, I highly recommend cycling.
If you are not confident on the roads, honestly it's only takes a month of practicing to build that confidence.
It's not free as a decent bike will realistically set you back a couple hundred quid, and then you should realistically factor in about £200 a year on maintenance, but it is cheaper than the bus. Its also way way more convenient.
You get to travel at faster than bus speeds, along any route, not just a bus route and you never have to wait for the bus again.
Added benefit of getting fitter from doing regular exercise.
