This is how much Kinchbus fares are increasing by

The bus company have said that rising costs have left them with no other option.

Kinchbus has announced that they are rising their fares for some passengers.

This will affect cash single tickets and contactless fares as they will increase by around 10-20p and some longer distance fares may have larger increases.

The day cap when you pay on your card will stay capped at £10.50 which means your spending is limited, no matter how often you travel.

A statement on the bus companies website said: "faced with high inflation and increasing costs of fuel, parts and wages, we’re having to increase some fares to continue to invest in our services and fleet.

"We are also simplifying our fare structure after listening to customer feedback and accelerating improvements which make our most popular ways to pay - mango, Kinchkard and travel contactless - the best value for money.

"Despite the changes, travelling by bus will still be cheaper than the equivalent solo journey in a car and remains the greenway to travel, cutting carbon and air pollution."
