A4 Delays: Airport – Bath (23rd September 2022)
Due to traffic, our Air Decker service is currently running 30 minutes late from Bristol Airport to Bath. We apologise for any delays or inconvenience caused.
Fare Changes from 25th September 2022
From 25th September, Bath Bus Company will introduce new fares on the A4 Air Decker service.
Local journey fares will fall in line with other operators across the West of England, such as First Group, as a result of the BSIP (Bus Service Improvement Plan), to encourage more people to use public transport.
Adult single local fares in the Bath and Bristol zones will be reduced to just £2.00 with journeys across both zones costing a maximum of £3.70.
You can still make a saving if travelling regularly between Bath City Centre and Highridge Common by purchasing a 10 journey ticket. These will now cost £30.00 and are valid for up to 3 months.
An increase of 50p on all airport single journeys and £1.00 on airport returns will apply.

We are deeply saddened by the announcement that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. An inspiration to so many, she dedicated her life to her family, country, the Commonwealth and her people. Her passing is a great loss to all.
