Online Bus Fares and Schedules ?

So, the train schedules and fares are easily available online here like www.nationalrail.co.uk (just don't buy from Wessex trains or Trainline!!)

However, I cannot find bus schedules and fares online like that. Does anyone know of a site? To date, we've always had to get on the bus and ask the driver how much it will cost to a certain place, which can be surprisingly high.

sorry if this is a repost, the search function on this site isn't working very often so I can't check...

it would really depend on the bus company. which one do you ride?

you could call traveline to find out http://www.traveline.org.uk/index.htm

Thanks, that's good for timetables. It doesn't list fares though ;(

There's a number on there you can call, they might be able to help with that.

I don't know if fares are avail onsite as they change...you have to be very specific about your destination to get the right fare locally
if you are buying an adult all all day pass for  local service arriva is £2.50, for countywide (in Leicestershire anyway) it's £4
weekly all county passes run from £11 up

inter~city coaches www.nationalexpress.com  has a searchable database of locations they serve and you can check fares by following the step by step instructions at left

hope that helps
