Bus fares for 5-18 year olds during August

Anyone aged five to 18 will be able to buy a £1 single or £2 return ticket at any stop in Wokingham Borough, regardless of journey length, on any date in August.

We're funding the discount as part of our Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), with the money coming from the Department for Transport.

Bus Passenger Charter

As part of the collaborative work between local bus operators and the Council, a passenger charter has now been agreed. The passenger charter sets out what passengers can expect from local bus services in the borough. This is the first passenger charter for the borough. The Council will engage with local community groups on future revisions.  The Bus Passenger Charter can be found under Related Downloads.
