FARES

 

 

The cost of a tramway is mainly in the infrastructure, the actual running costs are relatively low. This benefits the operator who runs a frequent, cheap service and encourages as many passengers as possible with low fares.

The actual fare structure in Bath would depend on the operator and cannot be stated with certainty although some idea of the possible fares can be suggested.

A good guide to typical tramway fares can be gained from those of other cities.
