Save with a group ticket this Bank Holiday

The May Bank Holiday weekend is here, and if you’re planning to head out with friends or family, you can save money with one of our great value group tickets!

any combination

Up to four people can travel together with a group ticket, and it doesn’t matter what the combination of adults or children is. So whether it’s just one adult travelling with three children or four adults, our group tickets will help you save money.

Less than four of you travelling?  Our group ticket may still work out the best value, for example a simplyReading group ticket for two adults costs less than two day tickets!

group tickets,

We have three different group tickets to pick from, depending on where you need to get to. Which one is best for you depends on the area you are travelling in.

simplyReading group ticket

Only planning to travel within Reading? Our simplyReading group ticket is the ideal choice for you. This ticket offers unlimited travel on all of our buses within the simplyReading zone.

The simplyReading group ticket costs just £6.50 on weekends and public holidays (such as the May Bank Holiday Monday) and on weekdays after 9.30am. If you need to travel before 9.30am Monday to Friday, the ticket costs £10.80.

For a group of four adults travelling together, this means you can travel all day for less than £1.65 each – a saving of £3.85 per person compared to an adult simplyReading day ticket!

Tickets can be bought in advance on our app or from our drivers when you travel.

Reading All-Bus group ticket

Only travelling in Reading, but also need to travel on Carousel or Thames Travel buses? Then the Reading All-Bus group ticket is best for you. 

The Reading All-Bus ticket costs £7.50 off-peak (weekends, public holidays and weekdays after 9.30am) and £11.50 at all other times. It can be brought in advance on our app, or from the driver when you travel.
