Aankomst en vervoer

Lokaal vervoer: stadspassen en tariefsystemen

Elke bestemming heeft een eigen manier van betalen. Deze pagina vermeldt wat de lokale vervoerder aanbiedt, citeert diens eigen woorden en verwijst naar de tarievenpagina. We noemen geen prijzen.

Feiten voor het laatst gecontroleerd op 25 okt 2026. Britlens is onafhankelijk: lees ons redactiebeleid.

Prijzen veranderen. We vermelden alleen een bedrag als de pagina van de vervoerder het toonde op de datum van onze controle, en dan met die datum. Anders linken we naar de tarievenpagina.

Londen

Transport for London (Oyster en contactloos)

  • TfL zegt dat u "contactloos of met een Oyster card kunt betalen met pay as you go".1
  • Piektarieven bij pay as you go gelden van maandag tot en met vrijdag (niet op feestdagen) tussen 06:30 en 09:30 en tussen 16:00 en 19:00; daltarieven gelden op alle andere tijden. Ritten vanaf Heathrow die in Zone 1 beginnen, eindigen of erdoorheen gaan, worden in de Tube en de Elizabeth line tegen piektarief berekend. TfL vermeldt dit op de pagina over metro- en treintarieven.2
  • De dag- en weekmaxima en de prijzen van Travelcards staan in de tariefdocumenten van TfL (op het moment van ophalen aangeduid als „2026 prices”). Wij nemen de bedragen hier niet over omdat ze veranderen: open de tarievenpagina voor de actuele cijfers.2

Bath

First Bus (Bristol, Bath and the West)

  • Bath valt onder dezelfde First Bus-regio als Bristol. Op 25 okt 2026 meldde de updatepagina van First dat Manvers Street in het centrum tot november 2026 was afgesloten, wat gevolgen heeft voor lijn 2, 3, 4, 13, D1, U1 en U3. Raadpleeg de updatepagina voor actuele omleidingen.3

Bristol

First Bus (Bristol, Bath and the West)

  • First Bus noemt contactloos betalen, de First Bus-app en 'tap on tap off' als betaalmogelijkheden en publiceert dagelijks dienstmeldingen voor het gebied Bristol, Bath and West. Op 25 okt 2026 meldde de pagina wegwerkzaamheden in het stadscentrum die op meerdere Bristolse lijnen voor vertraging zorgden.4,3

Cambridge

Stagecoach Park & Ride

  • Stagecoach vermeldt vijf P+R-locaties (Babraham Road, Madingley, Milton Road, Newmarket Road en Trumpington), met bussen tot elke 10 tot 15 minuten, afhankelijk van de locatie, en gratis parkeren tot 18 uur.5
  • Tickettypen zijn onder meer een Adult Return, een Short Hop Return en een DayRider. Sinds een tariefwijziging per 22 feb 2026 is een retour alleen geldig van en naar de plaats waar het is gekocht. Contactloos betalen en de Stagecoach Bus-app zijn beschikbaar.5

Cornwall

Transport for Cornwall

  • Transport for Cornwall biedt dagtickets voor volwassenen, kinderen (5 tot 15 en 16 tot 18 jaar) en jongeren (19 tot 25 jaar), geldig tot einde dienst (02:59) op de dag van activering, meerdaagse tickets, Truro Park and Ride-bundels en dagtickets voor gezinnen en groepen. Kinder- en jongerentickets moeten voor gebruik worden geverifieerd, wat volgens de vervoerder tot 48 uur kan duren. Tickets worden gekocht in de app van Transport for Cornwall.6

Edinburgh

Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams

  • Lothian vermeldt contactloos betalen in de bus met „TapTapCap”, omschreven als „contactloze betalingen met dag- en weekmaximum”, Ridacards (geldig op alle diensten), de M-Ticket-app en contant betalen met gepast geld.7
  • Lothian omschrijft Airlink als „24/7-vertrekken tussen Edinburgh Airport en het stadscentrum” met een „reistijd van 30 minuten” en contactloos betalen.7
  • Lothian’s fares page (read 1 November 2026) says TapTapCap works out the cheapest adult daily or weekly fare when you use the same contactless card or device, that up to three children under 5 travel free with a fare-paying passenger, and that standard Lothian day tickets and caps are not valid on Airlink to the airport.8

Glasgow

SPT (Subway, ZoneCard) en busmaatschappijen

  • SPT runs the Glasgow Subway. It lists Subway tickets by contactless, smartcard and paper, a ZoneCard offering "unlimited* travel", day tickets, and concession tickets. No prices are stated on the page.9

Liverpool

Merseytravel (Walrus-kaart, nu MetroCard)

  • Merseytravel's website and the MetroSmart site both refused automated access, so we have not read them. A Merseytravel news item shown in search results describes a MetroCard replacing the Walrus card; treat that as unconfirmed and check which card and tickets are current before you buy.10,11

Manchester

Bee Network

  • The Bee Network's tickets and passes page lists bus tickets, tram fare zones, contactless tap and go, the Bee Network app, a smart card, and cash and card payment. It also links a ticket finder tool.12
  • On 1 November 2026 the Bee Network’s contactless page said that if you keep tapping the same card or device on buses and trams you pay no more than the capped fares: £9.50 a day or £41 a week for unlimited bus and tram travel. On trams you tap in before boarding and tap out at your final stop; on buses you tap once when you board.13

Belfast and Northern Ireland

Translink (Metro, Glider, iLink)

  • Translink says iLink offers "unlimited bus and rail travel for a day, week or month" in selected areas, across 5 zones, on Metro, Glider, Ulsterbus, Goldliner and NI Railways services. On the Glider you "simply tap your card at the validator before boarding".14
  • You cannot top up iLink online. Translink lists main bus and train stations, Visit Belfast on Donegall Square North, the Belfast International Airport Welcome Centre, PayPoint agents (top-ups only) and Glider stop machines as places to buy or top up.14
  • Translink's home page also lists contactless payment, a Belfast Visitor Pass and Ulsterbus smartcards under its ticket links.15

Oxford

Oxford Bus Company en Park & Ride

  • The Oxford Bus Company lists contactless journeys, ticket and fare pages, an app, and airport coaches to Heathrow and Gatwick. Its home page announced a combined Park & Ride parking and bus ticket from 17 August 2026.16

St Andrews and Fife

Stagecoach East Scotland buses and ScotRail trains

  • Stagecoach says contactless "is now available on all our buses outside of London": tap your card or device on the reader (page read 3 November 2026; it does not mention fare capping).17
  • St Andrews has no railway station: use Leuchars and the bus, or Stagecoach buses from Edinburgh and Dundee. Plan bus and train journeys in Fife with Traveline Scotland.18

De Cotswolds

Rural buses, rail and a combined rail-and-bus ticket

  • Cotswolds Tourism says a combined rail-and-bus ticket covers trips to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Norton, that the main coach route from London is National Express from Victoria Coach Station, and that the main bus stations in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds are at Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud.19

Jurassic Coast (Dorset and East Devon)

Morebus, First and the Jurassic Coaster

  • Visit Dorset says you can buy local bus tickets from the driver on the day without needing the exact money, while National Express coach tickets must be bought in advance. It names a Getting About Ticket for a day of travel across Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole, and says the Jurassic Coaster and Purbeck Breezer buses suit walkers on the South West Coast Path, who can ride one way and walk the other.20
  • Morebus, which runs many routes around Poole, Bournemouth and Purbeck, promotes its mobile app for tickets.21

The Lake District

Stagecoach-bussen, boten en treinen

  • The Lake District National Park Authority says Stagecoach runs the main bus network and that "all bus fares are currently capped to £3 per single journey" (as on its page on 25 October 2026). It lists day tickets for unlimited bus journeys within one day, combined bus and boat tickets for Windermere, Ullswater, Coniston and Derwentwater, and a Cumbria Travel Pass covering Northern, TransPennine and Avanti trains, Stagecoach buses and Windermere Cruises.22
  • It adds that Northern runs a direct train from Manchester to Windermere, and that mainline stations such as Oxenholme, Penrith and Carlisle connect with the rest of the UK.22

The Peak District

Regional buses and trains

  • Visit Peak District & Derbyshire says the area is easy to reach by rail and bus and recommends public transport for car-free days out, but the page we read names no tickets or fares. The National Park Authority’s travel page did not respond to our fetch tool, so check it and Derbyshire County Council’s Wayfarer ticket page directly.23,24,25

Schotse Hooglanden

Regionale touringcars, bussen, treinen en veerboten

  • Scottish Citylink's website refused automated access, so we have not read its ticket or pass pages. Check it for coach routes and any pass or concession that applies to you. See the ports page for CalMac and NorthLink ferries, and the airports page for Inverness Airport buses and trains.26

Wales (Cardiff)

Cardiff Bus en Transport for Wales

  • Cardiff Bus lists "Tap On, Tap Off" for single and day tickets, cash and contactless on the bus, mobile tickets in its app, a Family Travel ticket for up to five people (at least one child and no more than two adults), a Network Rider ticket for several operators in south-east Wales, and PlusBus for rail plus bus.28
  • Traveline Cymru, part of Transport for Wales, plans trips by bus, train, walking or cycling and shows disruption.29

York

First York Park & Ride

  • First York lists Park & Ride sites at Rawcliffe Bar, Poppleton, Askham Bar, Designer Outlet, Grimston Bar and Monks Cross. You can buy in the First Bus app or pay the driver by cash or contactless card. Ticket types include day return, week, month and annual, and a York by bus smart card for regular users. On 25 October 2026 First reported Monks Cross (service 9) not running because a stop was closed.31
