South west Falcon fares from driver.

Apologies to admins if this is in wrong place but tried searching for the suitable board and it was locked.

Does anybody here know the up to date fares for both single and returns purchased from the driver between Plymouth and Cabot Circus please? I no longer use X/Twitter and Stagecoach on FB bizarrely had no idea when I asked them.

A single is £31, a return is usually not much more. There are also discounts for youth and senior, but I don't know how much the discount is or even the ages to qualify.

I did wonder, when Falcon became part of the Megabus brand, whether walk-on fares and senior discounts would disappear, but evidently not. Along the A38 north of Highbridge, Falcon was operating as a local bus service when I used it in July 2022 and I expect that still applies as there's no other service now until you get to Churchill Gate.

As I understand it, since 2022 Megabus is owned by Scottish Citylink, which itself is a 63/37 joint venture between ComfortDelGro of Singapore and Stagecoach.

Correct.
Walk up fares available on falcon, but can be found on megabus website at various pricing in advance which may save money if you can commit to an exact journey without walk up flexibility. Megabus tickets are only valid on the booked service (officially)

Are there discounts for English disabled passes ?

One of the Plymstock depot Stagecoach drivers I asked about fares said that Stagecoach are now little more than a contractor for Citylink.

Hard too get that information now as everyone I've asked at Stagecoach, either drivers on person or via their media accounts has been dumbfounded with fares. Remember when it first started ENCTS pass holders could travel for £5, was then later reduced to 30% off the full fare, but short sections like Plymouth-Drumbridges/Exeter/Cullompton could travel free. Haven't a clue what discounts are now.
