A NEW fare system will be launched by Stagecoach to make travel across Ayrshire easier.

From March 7, a new range of tickets will be introduced to make it easier for passengers to be confident that they are always getting the best value travel for the journeys they make.

Amongst the improvements for customers will be the introduction of a new flexible ticket, the Flexi 5.

It will offer five day tickets for the price of four, to help meet the changes in travel patterns when COVID-19 pandemic restrictions begin to ease.

The Flexi 5 will be available via the Stagecoach mobile app. Bus goers will be able to purchase a bundle of five tickets and have the whole month to use them, offering better value and flexibility than the traditional weekly megarider ticket.

Stagecoach will also be supporting the Scottish Government’s commitment to a green recovery to the pandemic.

Across Ayrshire, there will be the introduction of simpler, more consistentfares by Stagecoach, easier to understand ticket types and, through the use of technology, delivering new and more flexible products for customers.
