Golden Arrow bus fares to increase by 4.5%
The company says the increase will not affect Gold Card multi-journey tickets.
Golden Arrow Bus Services plans to raise selected cash fares by an average of 4.5% starting from this month's 28th. The company attributes this change to rising operating costs such as fuel and maintenance.
Spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer explains the adjustment will only impact off-peak cash fares, which are primarily those paid on the bus between 8 am and 4 pm daily. Only a select number of peak cash fares will experience an increase.
Most importantly, this fare hike will not affect Gold Card multi-journey tickets or most peak cash fares. This move aims to minimize the impact on passengers, especially those who rely on public transport for essential daily activities like commuting to work or school.
