Just a few months after they increased the cost of Weekly tickets, Arriva have raised prices across the board!

The changes in fares will be introduced from 1st April.

Adult single fares will be increased by 10p to 30p in general with child fares becoming 2/3 of the adult fare throughout Wales.

Child day and weekly tickets will be priced at 2/3 of the adult equivalent.

Arriva states on their site:

“We understand that this will have a regrettable impact upon our customers, however at this time we have little option but to react to the substantial reduction in government financial support of bus services across Wales and the rising cost of fuel.”

With the possible strikes by Tanker drivers and the general economic climate, I think this is a bit of unfortunate timing.

As from  Sunday 6th December, Concessionary bus passes will go live so passengers using them will have to swipe them to get on the bus.

The new cards, which give users free bus travel, contain an electronic chip that machines on-board the buses can read. This ensures bus companies are paid correctly for the passengers they’ve carried.

Arriva are phasing out the old buses and bringing in a new fleet of bigger, more comfortable, buses.

The access is much easier for Wheelchair users and mothers with prams.

The old buses were not comfortable as there was not enough space for the chair to manoeuvre and you felt like a sardine. These new ones are much more spacious and airy.

For those of you who have been put off travelling on the buses by these less accessible older buses, why not try one of the new ones, you might be surprised.
