If you are using the buses a lot, the day ticket at £7 is good value. If you are using it every day, the tourist ticket might be good, but you can buy 12-journey tickets... different colours for different distances, and they are probably best of all (unless you plan being on and off buses all day... see day ticket)

Me, I have my lovely free pass. :D (Broom for longer distances :witch:)

Oh, yes... the 12 journey tickets can be used by more than one person... handy if there's a couple of you.

Some drivers might let you go, but most won't, and Garth DEFINITELY won't... he's a driver who is a stckler for the rules... wouldn't let my 90 year old friend on the bus without paying when her pass was being replaced... even though he saw her regularly on the bus.
