Tickets on the 96A

Select Bus Services publishes singles and day tickets on this route for adults.

Adult 1D Return · Adult Single · Child Return · Child Single · Staffordshire Knot

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 Select Bus Services' own fares data on the Bus Open Data Service, last updated 8 September 2026. Prices for singles and returns are under Fares above; for the others, check with Select Bus Services.

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 Select Bus Services before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.

Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and 2 January. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
