Tap on-Tap off

Tap on, Tap off (TOTO) is a simple method that customers can use to purchase an Adult ticket.

Simply tap your contactless debit card or device on the ticket machine reader when boarding the bus.
Then tap the same card or device on the Tap off Reader as you get off the bus.
The single fare between the two points is calculated.
If you make multiple trips and the fare reaches the price cap, which is currently the price of a 1bws Day ticket, you will get charged a maximum of £7.00 no matter how much your total fares are. If you’re making multiple journeys over 7 consecutive days, the system will work out if you’re better off paying for multiple 1bws Day tickets or a 1bws Weekly ticket.
