Xplore Dundee is set to raise its bus fares later this month.
Dundee’s main bus operator is blaming inflation and a continuing rise in running costs for the price increases.
The new fares on Xplore services will be enforced from March 31 2025.
This is the fourth consecutive year the operator has increased its fares.
Prior to changes in April 2022, short-hop and long hop tickets cost £1.80 and £2.30 respectively.

Xplore says it is continuing to invest in zero-emission buses, and “better” and more vehicles.
It also says the ticket price increases will help support improved punctuality and “fair” wages for its staff.
Young people aged between five and 21 are still eligible for free bus travel across Dundee with a YoungScot card.
