BUS giant Stagecoach has announced an increase in fares across Ayrshire.

In a statement last week, the company said that there would be an increase of 10p on single journey fares but they will be keeping all other fares at the same level.

They said: “From May, 5, 2019, Stagecoach West Scotland single bus fares will increase by 10p as we look to improve and upgrade our services. All other fares including returns, dayrider and megarider bus tickets across our Ayrshire, Arran and Glasgow networks will remain at their current prices.

“Stagecoach operate a fleet of 395 buses and have made major investment introducing new buses in local areas, all of which are fully accessible and meet the latest Euro emission standards. During 2018 further investment was made to introduce contactless payment systems throughout West Scotland.

“We want to provide customers with the best value travel we can while also ensuring we are able to continue operating a stable bus network over the longer term. We do our absolute best to keep prices as low as possible as we continue to face rising costs and reduced public sector investment in buses.”
