First Aberdeen - Fare increases

First Aberdeen have announced fare revisions across their network to be implemented from Sunday 1st May 2022. The key fare changes are summarised below for information.
This is the first fare change on First Aberdeen services since July 2019 and First Aberdeen has advised that no fares will increase by more than the current CPI inflation rate and the newly designed options are better suited for the emergence of a hybrid working model and the end of the traditional five-day commute.

First will also continue to operate “tap and cap” which allows customers to enter a capping environment on any service across the First Aberdeen network using contactless payments. First’s system will then select the cheapest fare based on their usage so customer’s pay for the most appropriate ticket depending on how they use the bus in a single day.
