We have carefully reviewed the cost of running our services, after a challenging two years, and have reluctantly increased some ticket prices.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly. We have kept any prices rises to an absolute minimum. Some of our single and return fares will not be changing at all, and others will increase by between 10p and 50p.
This is our first rise since 2019 - and our ticket prices still compare very favourably.
Some of our period passes have slightly increased with the best value tickets being available via the Salisbury Reds or Morebus mobile apps.
For single and day tickets, you can use Tap On Tap Off paperless ticketing.
Our new prices are below:
Among general single and return fares which are available exclusively from the driver using cash, contactless or Tap On Tap Off, we also offer dayrider and period fares.
| Day Tickets | Paper | App |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day - adult | £9.50 | £9.50 |
| 1 day - child | £6.20 | £6.20 |
Valid for 1 day unlimited travel on any public Bluestar, Damory, morebus, Salisbury Reds or Tourist bus across the south coast. You can also use Tap On Tap Off if doing multiple journeys.

If you travel regularly within Dorchester on the Dorchester Route 1, Dorchester Route 2 or Dorchester Route 6, you may find one of our Dorchester period passes more suitable. They are all available to buy from the driver.
