Tiger Line Buses - Fares

The ethos of Tiger Line is to provide our customers with value for money. As such we work hard to make sure our fares are as low as possible and that we provide a great range of tickets.

Unlike some of our competitors all of our tickets are sold on the bus, from your driver – no need to go online, or to a ticket outlet. What could be easier? You do not require any ID for any of these tickets, except for Discounted tickets.

Single Tickets (one trip) tickets

If you are going one way then just ask the driver for a Single. Children and Discounts pay half (see below). For details of your fare, have a look on the timetable leaflets, which can be downloaded on the Timetables page. If your fare is not listed, please call or email us!

Day Return Tickets

On all of our services we offer day return tickets. These can only be used on Tiger Line services except if you buy a Day Return on Service T2, it can be used in the evenings between common points on Red Rose Travel Service 501.
