A multi-operator ticket covers this route — it's valid on other companies' buses in the area too, which usually beats buying singles if you change buses.
Ticket types come from Oxford Bus Company's own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 9 October 2026. That dataset lists what's sold, not what it costs, so check prices with Oxford Bus Company.
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 Oxford Bus Company before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
