2026 Ticket Changes
From 4 January 2026, TravelMaster ticket prices will change.
Why Are Prices Changing?
Public transport is a lifeline for thousands of people and a major employer in our region. Over the past year, operators have faced significant cost pressures, including:
-
Rising operational costs for fuel, maintenance, and staffing.
-
Higher employment costs, including the increase in National Insurance contributions introduced in April 2025.
-
Limited public funding support for integrated ticketing compared to other areas of transport, such as rail and tram fare freezes.
While some fares have been frozen thanks to government subsidies, integrated ticketing (like TravelMaster) has not received the same level of support. To maintain current service levels and continue improving ticketing options, the TravelMaster Board has made the difficult decision to increase prices.
Our Commitment to Value
We know the cost-of-living crisis is not over. That’s why we’ve worked hard to keep weekly tickets affordable and maintain the same step between bus-only and bus-and-tram tickets.
Even without the subsidies seen in places like Manchester and West Yorkshire, our weekly tickets continue to offer similar value to neighbouring regions.
Looking Ahead
TravelMaster is committed to improving ticketing options and supporting a better public transport network for South Yorkshire. Recent innovations, such as QR mTickets, are just the beginning.
We will continue working with the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority as we move towards franchising and a more integrated transport system.
