🎫 Fares in Norfolk
- £3 fare cap: no single bus fare in England costs more than £3 under the national fare cap — and the cap falls to £2 from 1 January 2027 under the change announced in July 2026.
- Paying: larger operators (First, Central Connect, Sanders) accept contactless bank cards and mobile payment as well as cash; small community operators may be cash-only, so keep a card or exact change handy.
- Tickets: most operators sell day tickets on the bus and in their apps; Norwich Park & Ride has its own tickets — see BusUpdate’s Norwich Park & Ride guide.
