Sometimes your journey may involve taking more than one bus to get to your destination. 

Transfers with a Bee Card

When using a Bee Card to pay for your trip, transfers between buses are automatically applied. You will need to tag on and tag off for each part of the journey, but will not be charged any extra (more than one fare), providing your journey is within the Bee Card transfer rules.

Bee Card transfer rules

1.    Free transfers between buses apply for two hours from your first tag on to your final tag off.
2.    The transfer time between buses can be no more than 30 minutes.
3.    You can only have a maximum of two free transfers per journey.

Transfers with cash fares

When paying by cash, you will be given a paper ticket which you should hold onto for the duration of your journey.

Cash fare transfer rules

1.    Free transfers between buses apply for one hour from ticket purchase.
2.    You can only have a maximum of one free transfer per journey.
3.    You will need to present your ticket when transferring to the next bus.
