It’s been proposed that from 1 January, a standard fare will cost £1.60p (6.7% increase), with an increase of 15p per trip suggested for Puffin Pass holders, meaning that fare would sit at £1.15p per journey (15% increase).
Bus fares in Guernsey were last increased on 1 October last year, when the standard daytime journey fare increased by 25p, from £1.25 to £1.50.
