There’s so much to see and do across
the Fylde Coast, it’s a good job we’ve
got you covered with simple, great
value fares.
Our tickets are always cheaper on our mobile app,
but you can still buy your tickets on board from the
driver or conductor in cash too!
Single fares
We’ve got four simple fares if you’re only making
one journey and the price depends on how far you’re
travelling. Just let the driver or conductor know
where you’d like to go and they’ll help with the best
value ticket.
Saver tickets
If you’re making more than one trip you’ll want to get
one of our Saver Tickets. Whether it’s 24 hours, 3
Days, 7 Days or a month, we’ve got your covered.
How to buy your ticket
Download our mobile app: Tickets are always
cheaper on our app. Just search Blackpool
Transport in your app store, buy your ticket and
show the driver or conductor when you board!
Buy onboard: You can buy most tickets whilst on
the bus or tram using cash. If you’re unsure which
ticket is best for you our team can help you choose.
Buy in advance: You can visit our customer centre
on Market Street, Blackpool to buy a paper ticket or
pick up a timetable. We’re open Monday – Saturday
and our friendly team are always happy to help.
24 Hour Ticket
Unlimited travel on any Blackpool Transport bus or
tram for 24 hours. Buy on board from your driver or
conductor or download our app and get your ticket
on your phone. Nice and easy.
3 Day Ticket
If you’re here for more than a day, our 3 Day ticket
might be for you. Take the tram or the bus as many
times as you like.
7 Day Ticket
A 7 Day ticket is great value. Even if you only need
to travel for 4 or 5 days, it’s still cheaper than
buying single tickets.
30 Day Ticket
Our 30 Day Ticket is great if you’re travelling for
more than a week, but this can only be bought in
advance on our mobile app, from our customer
centre or from any PayPoint outlet.
Concessions
If you’re a holder of a concessionary travel card
you can travel on any of our buses completely
free of charge – not bad eh? Our trams are a
little different, only holders of concessionary
passes issued by Blackpool or Wyre Borough
Council can travel for free but don’t let that spoil
your fun, just take the bus!
