Reading has an excellent local bus service, Reading Buses, which serves the town centre through to the entire Reading region and some of our local villages. Most recently winning Top Operator 2020, Reading Buses has been transporting people around the Reading region for over 100 years with a fleet of 161 environmentally-friendly (and very colourful) single and double-decker buses.
Many buses offer free WiFi and USB charging points so you can stay connected as you travel. Sister companies, Newbury & District and Thames Valley Buses offer services throughout Berkshire.
You can use your contactless bank card to pay for bus tickets, as well as your smartphone or your smartwatch, for Apple Pay and Android Pay. Cash is also accepted. Fares can be bought in advanced or on-the-day, and a wide range of cheaper travel options are available to support all members of the community, such as concessions, jobseekers and students. Full information on the Reading Buses network, service updates, fares and journeys can be found on the Reading Buses website.
