Tap On Tap Off
Tap On Tap Off, the quick and easy way to pay for your adult bus travel, is now on board Arriva Buses.
Simply hop on the bus and tap on with your driver using a credit/debit card or with Google Pay or Apple Pay and when you leave just tap off with the dedicated reader. We then automatically calculate and cap your fare.
So, you can tap on and off as many times as you want and travel knowing your fare will be capped*. It’s as easy as, well, tapping on and off!
How we calculate your fare
- When you tap on and tap off for one journey, we’ll work out the adult single fare for that journey and you’ll just pay the single fare.
- If you make additional journeys throughout the same day, your payment will be capped at an adult Day ticket price.
- If you make additional journeys throughout the week, your price will be capped at an adult Weekly ticket price.

How Tap On Tap Off works
Simply tap on when you board and tap off when you leave using the same contactless card or device.
You will be charged for each journey you make, but don't worry, our system automatically works out the cheapest fare for you.
This means:
- If individual single fares are the cheapest option, you will only pay for the journeys you have made.
- If your journeys cost more than an adult Day ticket, we will automatically cap your fare at the Day ticket price.
- If you continue travelling throughout the week, you will never pay more than the price of an adult Weekly ticket.
You do not need to buy a ticket in advance or do anything extra, we will always make sure you pay the lowest available fare.
