pick and save

6 months ago Mon 22nd Dec 2025

However you travel with us, there are always ways to save yourself even more money. We've got tickets that work for everyone from regular commuters to people who seldom catch the bus, but still want to save!

Our single fare in the simplyReading area is £3 from the driver or £2.90 on our app. The simplyReading day ticket is £5.40 from the driver and just £5 from the app - which is still one of the cheapest day tickets in the country! However, even with these great value fares, you can still save money by buying tickets that match the way you travel - just pick what you want! All priced the same, they just work a little differently to fit your needs. 

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. 

When first activated, 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!

If you travel 5 days, a weekly ticket gives you a saving of £5 vs buying day tickets individually or £15 if you travel all 7 days!

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 day tickets that are activated individually and have no expiry, meaning you only use the day ticket when you need to. It works out at just £4 per day and gives you the flexibility to choose your travel days but still save. 

Daysaver5 saves you £1.40 per day vs buying from the driver - that's a 25% saving!

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. 

This ticket is great for people who might have a lift in one direction, who only travel once or twice a week (or less!) or who just don't know when they are going to catch a bus. 

Just £2 per trip or £4 for a return - easysaver10 saves you 90p on a single journey (nearly a third saving!) or £1 on a day ticket.
