Tap & Cap with contactless

All buses in Cornwall accept contactless payment, so there’s no need to worry about carrying cash. Pay by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Android Pay.

The limit on a bus is £45, so if you need a month or group week ticket, buy it online or in the Transport for Cornwall bus app.

Enjoy the freedom of great-value travel without having to plan ahead!

Tap on and off any bus in Cornwall using the same contactless payment method, and we’ll cap your spending.
Only pay for the journeys you make, and never pay more than the price of an all Cornwall daily or weekly ticket.

Simply tap the driver’s ticket machine as you get on the bus, then tap the reader near the exit when you get off.
Use the same payment method each time.
You don’t need to tell the driver where you’re going, and you don’t need a paper ticket. This makes boarding easier and faster!
We’ll calculate the best price for your journeys and charge your account at the end of the day. The price will be capped so it costs no more than an all Cornwall daily ticket.
If your journeys span seven consecutive days, the price will be capped so it costs no more than an all Cornwall weekly ticket.

Please note: under 19s should not use Tap & Cap as our system only recognises adult fares.
