BUS fares are set to increase once again one year on from a massive price hike which caused outrage among passengers.
The fare changes come in from Sunday and include most adult single fares increasing by 30p with the exception of the £1.00 fare, which will increase by 50p to £1.50.
The increase in adult return fares will be between 50p and 80p, depending on the length of the journey.
