Bus fares in the Harrogate district are set to increase from tomorrow.

Transdev, which runs Harrogate Bus Company, has an announced an increase in prices on some of its tickets from Sunday, May 14.

It will effect services in Harrogate, Knaresborough and Boroughbridge.

However, tickets for single fares will remain at the £2 cap until the end of June - but will return to original prices with no increase as of July 1.

A statement from the bus firm said:

“Unfortunately due to the rate of inflation we are seeing the cost of running our buses increasing. 
“We've been able to freeze many of our fares - our single and return fares will not change, including the £2 maximum single fare. 
“We still think these fares offer excellent value for money, especially compared to the cost of driving and parking.”


The price increases will be as follows:


  • Harrogate one-day - £5 to £5.70

  • Harrogate one-day (under 19) - £3.40 to £3.80

  • Harrogate seven days - £15.50 to £18

  • Transdev Gold ticket (7 days) - £40 to £45

  • Transdev Gold (under 19) - £26.50 to £30
