Beat the fuel price rises
1 month ago
The rising cost of fuel is putting a strain on many people - with the RAC advising that the average cost of unleaded is nearly £1.58 per litre UK-wide with diesel at £1.90 per litre. So the cost of your weekly commute, or even just nipping to the shops, has gone up considerably.
The good news is that you can beat the fuel prices by travelling with us instead! You definitely won't be able to fill up your tank for the price of one of our tickets below!
Whether it's switching your whole commute, or just trying to use your car less, we have tickets that can still save you money, no matter how you travel.
for regular commuters - 7 day ticket £20
If you travel more than three or four times a week (there-and-back), then a weekly ticket is the best for you. Buy online as a smartcard (and top it up online) or on our app.
It gives you unlimited travel in the simplyReading area for seven consecutive days. For commuters, it works out at just £4 per day if used just during the week or £2.85 if used every day!
Don't forget - if you are outside of the simplyReading area, you can still buy a 7 day ticket for the area that you travel in - check out our fares page for full details.
for work-from-home and occasional travellers - daysaver5 £20
Working from home a few days per week or just like to leave the car at home every now and then? Buy online as a smartcard (and top it up online) or on our app.
Daysaver5 is a bundle of five day tickets that are activated individually and have no expiry, so use when you need. It works out at just £4 per day, saving you 25% vs buying on bus, and gives you the flexibility to choose your travel days but still save.
Daysaver5 are also available outside of Reading - just buy the version for the area in which you are travelling!
for very occasional travellers - 10 trip bundle easysaver10 £20
Perhaps our most flexible ticket, easysaver10 gives you 10 single journeys that are activated individually. Buy online as a smartcard (and top it up online) or on our app. Easysaver10 has no expiry, so you keep the journeys that you don't use - giving you maximum flexibility.
Each trip works out at just £2 each way, saving you 33% vs the on bus single fare.
