Tickets on the OX8

Oxford Bus Company publishes singles, day returns, day tickets and season tickets on this route for adults, children and young people.

Adult Single · Child Single · Cap Adult Day Return · Cap Child Day Return · Adult MyBus Day · Adult Day Return · Adult MyBus Week · Cap Adult Single

…and 3 more tickets on this route.

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 1 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.

Not published yet: 29 December and 2 January. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
