The cost of travelling on the Blackpool Tramway will increase again from 31st March with a single fare between any two stops setting you back £3.50 – a 30p increase from the current fee. The fares structure remains the same so it’s a simple flat free for travel – whether you’re going from North Pier to Tower or Starr Gate to Fleetwood.
In the announcement of the fare increase Blackpool Transport said: “Delivering high value, reliable public transport is always our priority, and these small changes to some of our tickets will allow us to continue doing just that.”
1 day tickets will also increase from the same date to £6.60 (was £6.00) with 3 day tickets being £18.50 (£17.50) and 7 day tickets at £23.00 (£22.00).
Single bus tickets don’t change as these remain covered by the government’s £2 fare cap (which guarantees that they will stay at this level until 31st December 2024) and Group tickets will also stay as £18 for up to 5 people travelling together.
Blackpool Transport have also announced a price freeze for regular travellers who travel frequently on the trams and buses. Anyone who subscribes to a 30 day or 7 day Child, Young Person or Adult Saver ticket before 31st March will only be charged at the pre-increase rate meaning an Adult 30 day tickets stays as only £2.53 a day with a 7 day ticket being £3.14 per day.
