Single Journeys
Single fares on the bus are like a pay-as-you go option if you don’t travel often. Even occasional riders can still save money, though - just check out the SingleTrip Bundles.
| Check out single tickets for adults (16+) | from £1.90 |
| UniHop | £1.50 |
The UniHop is a special ticket which lets students travel one-way for £1.50 on services 5/5a | 6 | 17 | 22 anywhere between the City Centre and Ninewells Hospital (including the University of Dundee and halls of residence). Here's a handy map of the UniHop zone. Buy on the bus from the driver (or on the Xplore Dundee app).
The price of a regular single journey is calculated based on the distance you are travelling on one bus: Short Hops are valid for up to one fare stage, and Long Hops are valid for two or more fare stages. Buy on the bus from the driver (or in the Xplore Dundee app). Prices vary depending on your age bracket.
Special-rate single fares are charged on services 57a/59 | 73b | 137/138 | 139, as we operate them under Council contracts.

Student ID Policy
All students need to show their college or university matriculation card (which must include a photo and expiry date) when buying and using discounted tickets or mTickets on the bus. You can upload your ID and get verified in the app (this is an annual process which needs to be topped up for the start of a new academic year).
