Some news from Go Cornwall bus

Good evening everyone


Here is some news from Go Cornwall


Any ticket, any bus

We’ve got some great news for customers within Cornwall.

From 2 January you’ll be able to use your bus ticket on any* Cornwall by Kernow or Go Cornwall bus.
Including services operated by Stagecoach, Hopleys, OTS and Travel Cornwall.

That means that whether you’ve got a return, day, weekly or monthly ticket you’ll be able to hop on any bus, whoever operates it, and you won’t have to pay another penny.

It doesn’t matter what colour the bus is, or who’s driving it, it’ll still get you where you need to be.

There’s other exciting changes too, everyone 18 and under can now purchase a child ticket, offering great value travel to young people across the county.

And there are new day tickets available for the existing town zones, with a full fare ticket at just £3.00 and under 19s can travel for just £1.50.

There are even plans for more town zones, and further reductions to fares coming from the Spring.

This really is the beginning of our journey to better fares for Cornwall!

Here’s a quick overview of what’s new, and what’s different:

 

• Return tickets can be used on any bus on your return journey to the same point.

• 50% off adult fares for all those 18 and under on day, week and month tickets

• Cornwall wide or town zone tickets can be purchased on the Go Cornwall Bus or First Bus App, or from the driver using contactless or cash.

• Day tickets purchased from Cornwall by Kernow, Go Cornwall bus, Hopleys, OTS and Travel Cornwall are now £9 for unlimited travel across the county. Young person’s day ticket has been reduced to just £4.50. Family tickets allowing up to 2 adults and unlimited children are now available on all these operators too.

 

*excludes Truro, Penwith and Callywith College passes, Falmouth & Exeter University passes and use on Truro Park & Ride

Some news from Plymouth Citybus regarding the 42s

Improvements to the 42s

Following customer requests, the 42C will stop at the George Park and Ride Monday – Friday, from Monday 6th December.

To allow time for this, and to take road congestion into account, the 42 from Royal Parade will leave at 7:40 (five minutes earlier) and the 42A will leave at 7:20 (also five minutes earlier).

All 42s buses running between 7:15 and 8:30 from Royal Parade will have extra time built into the timetable to allow for extra traffic at Manadon Roundabout.

You can see the full timetable via the Journey Planner on our website or the Plymouth Citybus app.
