East Yorkshire Buses has announced a range of fare changes they say will simplify ticketing, offer better value and introduce new flexible travel options across its network. The changes launch from Sunday 29 March 2026.
As part of the update, some single and return fares will increase. However, the changes also bring a simplified ticket structure, new products, and, in many cases, lower prices for customers travelling within and across key areas.
The number of fare zones is being reduced with Hull Country Zone, Bridlington Country Zone, Coaster Zone, Caves/Gilberdyke Zone, Hornsea Zone, Withernsea Zone, and York Country Zone all being withdrawn.
Customers in these areas will now be able to purchase the re-priced Go Anywhere ticket, with day tickets starting from £9.
Example changes in adult day tickets:
- Customers in the Bridlington Country Zone will see a reduction from £11.60 to £9
- Customers in the Hornsea Zone will see a reduction from £11.90 to £9
- Customers in the Withernsea Zone will see a reduction from £12.20 to £9
- Customers in the Hull Country Zone will pay the same price but benefit from being able to travel further
Additional zones being withdrawn include Beverley Zone and Driffield Zone. The simplified zone structure will now consist of: Hull Zone, Bridlington Zone, Scarborough Zone, York Zone, and Go Anywhere Zone.
Alongside the simplified fares, East Yorkshire Buses is introducing a range of new ticket options:
- Duo Ticket – ideal for two people travelling together, offering better value than buying separate tickets
- Group Day Ticket – for up to 4 people, making group travel more affordable than ever
- 20 Single Ticket Bundle – priced at £57, offering discounted travel on the £3 maximum single fare, and added flexibility for regular passengers
Stuart Fillingham, Commercial Director at East Yorkshire Buses, said:
“We are pleased to be introducing a simplified range of tickets across our network, making it easier for customers to choose the right option for their journeys.
It’s particularly encouraging that customers in many areas will now be able to travel further for the same price or less, thanks to our new Go Anywhere ticket.
We’re also excited to introduce new products, including our 20-journey ticket bundle, which offers a discount on regular fares and greater flexibility for frequent travellers.
Our new Duo tickets, alongside the extension of Group Day tickets across the network, provide fantastic value for people travelling together – whether with family, friends, or colleagues – especially as the days get longer and the nights get lighter.
This is our first network-wide fare revision since January 2025, and we have worked hard to hold prices for as long as possible, maintaining our usual annual review cycle while continuing to deliver value for our customers.”
