Frequently asked questions
What time is the first 18 bus?
The first 18 departure on weekdays leaves at 07:00 (check the full timetable below for your stop, as times vary along the route — weekend times can differ).
What time is the last 18 bus?

How much does the 18 bus cost?
The 18 is confirmed by GOV.UK as part of the national fare cap, so a single costs at most £3 until 31 December 2026, then £2 from 1 January 2027. Blackpool Transport day and weekly tickets can work out cheaper if you travel more than twice a day.
