Cost
Individual journey prices are based on distance. You can add up to 9 people to your journey for £1 each. You will be charged when your journey is completed.
You can also purchase Ride Passes, which provides a discount on the journey price. These are available as a bundle for 12 rides at £30 or 30 rides at £60. These allow you to take individual journeys to any destination within the WM Bus on Demand operating zone. For regular riders the ride passes offer a saving on individual journeys, especially if you are regularly making longer trips.
Your fare will now be based on the distance instead of the time of day. Distances are calculated as a straight line from A to B, and the distance charged is not dependant on the route the bus takes.
The price of your journey will be confirmed when you book, and your fare will remain the same regardless of how many stops or passengers there are. You will be able to pay by cash on the bus or by card once your journey is completed.
