Stagecoach says new fares will be‘simpler to understand’
Perth-based bus company Stagecoach will this week introduce what it says is a “simpler to understand range of tickets and fares”.
The new range, which will be rolled out on Sunday, March 7, will “make it easier for passengers to be confident that they are always getting the best value travel for the journeys they make,” according to the company.
It will include the introduction of a new flexible ticket, the Flexi 5, offering five day tickets for the price of four, to help meet the changes in travel patterns when COVID-19 pandemic restrictions begin to ease.
The Flexi 5 will be available via the Stagecoach mobile app.
Customers will be able to purchase a bundle of five tickets and have the whole month to use them.
Stagecoach says the “simpler, more consistent fares,” will help the country meet environmental targets.
Sam Greer, Stagecoach regional director for Scotland, said: “With simpler to understand fares, more flexible tickets and the use of technology to allow customers to track where their bus is, including how busy your bus service could be through our app, this complements contactless payment facilities on all buses.
“Improving the range of our tickets available for purchase both online and through our app and introducing a range of bespoke solutions for business customers means we are well placed to welcome customers onto our services and play a key role in rebuilding the economy and reconnecting our communities when restrictions can be relaxed.”
