Hi neighbours,

Half-price fares for all on Horizons’ buses end on July 1, but will remain for passengers aged 13 to 24 years and for community service cardholders.

For many adults, fares would return to full price, but for those in the target age group and with community service cards, half-price fares would still be available, and children aged 12 and under would travel for free.

Has the discount enticed you to use the buses more often?
