Ticket types come from Star Cabs's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 17 June 2025 — over a year ago, so what is sold today may differ. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Star Cabs.
Christmas & bank holidays
These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Star Cabs before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, 28 December and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
