The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) have confirmed new fares for travel on South Yorkshire Supertram. The majority will be frozen at their current levels, although the long-distance single fare will be reduced as part of measures from the Mayor to support people with the cost of living and encourage the public back onto public transport.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The unanimous agreement by the SYMCA board means that from 1st<\/sup> January 2026:<\/p>\n After the decision was made Mayor of Sheffield, Oliver Coppard, said: \u201cLast year, we brought the Supertram network back under public control, and from 2027 we’re bringing the buses under public control too. That means the era of private operators deciding routes, timetables, and fares for profit is coming to an end. Instead, trams and buses will be run for the benefit of us here, in South Yorkshire.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mission is clear: to build a world-class, integrated public transport system and make sure it\u2019s affordable. Rising costs are tough for everyone. That\u2019s why, from January for the following year, we\u2019re cutting the price of an adult longer-distance ticket from \u00a33.40 to \u00a33 and freezing the cost of all other Supertram fares. We’re also freezing the child concession fare at \u00a31 across bus and tram, supporting families to travel on public transport.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPublic control means decisions that put people first. Whether you\u2019re commuting, studying, visiting family or heading out for the night, we\u2019re creating a transport network that works for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n Cllr Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City Council, added: \u201cOur decision to freeze tram fares, and to cut them for some journeys, will help thousands of people in Sheffield who use the tram.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are moving forward to build a public transport system that works for all of us. Affordable low fares are a key part of that. That\u2019s why I\u2019m very pleased we are also freezing child concession fares across bus and tram to help families and young people.\u201d<\/p>\n The reduction in the Adult Long Distance Single Supertram fare applies to on-board purchases of single tickets. Passengers can also continue to make more savings on travel on purchasing multi-day tickets and using the TSY Mobile App where further discounts apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) have confirmed new fares for travel on South Yorkshire Supertram.
