Tickets
Buying a ticket is easy. Just buy a cash fare from the driver when you get on board or use Snapper. Bus fares are charged on how far you have to travel. Unless you buy a ticket before boarding the bus, you must pay by cash.
If you make regular journeys by bus, you might like to buy a specific ticket for your journey or use Snapper.
For more information please visit the Snapper section of this website.
