| Basic fares within Harlow |
The single journey fare will cost
approximately £1.00 to £1.50
within Harlow, depending on distance. There are some variations between
operators, and during the evenings and on Sundays fares are generally lower. Tickets may be
bought on the bus, and all will give change. In addition to the basic single fare, there
are also lots of good value ways to reduce the cost:-
If you are making a return journey, simply ask for a return ticket. Within Harlow, this
will cost approximately one and a half times the single fare. As an example, a
£1.20
single will cost £1.80 return.
On Sundays, when town services are supported by Essex County Council, a
£1.50 ticket (75p child) will allow travel on the local network all day.
The basic child fare for under 14's will be 50p to 80p single and 75p to £1.20 return. If
you are between 14 and 20, you can continue to obtain child fares with a student
fare
saver card. See student deals below for details.
If you plan to make a number of journeys in one day, or to make the same journey
regularly, check out the fare deals below.

The fare to a destination outside
Harlow will vary depending on distance, however the vast majority of places can be reached
for under £5. Again this can be reduced by purchasing a return. This cost
of a return is typically calculated at one and a half times the single fare. The
maximum return fare to anywhere is £7, but the majority are lower.
Child fares are generally half the adult for singles and returns, rounded up to the
nearest 10p.
