Although I hardly ever use the buses, I think the price rise is very fair..

The 'new ' bus stop near the Archaeological Park was last summer in constant use by tourist coaches.
I wonder where these coaches will park next summer? The present spot where the busses are parking is right at the back of the car park opposite the Leptos Head Offices. This latter spot is arguably more convenient for its users as it is closer to the shops.

I think the rises are far too excessive. Fortunately, we only have to use them while on holiday there.
Makes hiring a car and forgetting using the buses even more attractive now.
As for the new routes - two of the most popular tourist routes (Harbour - Coral Bay and Harbour - Karavella) now require two buses. Barmy idea.

Quick question - what's involved with getting a personalised bus pass?
Can tourists have them?

Hi Fishbeardsunset,
Thanks for that information.
We have the Anonymous cards already (cost €2) so will get them changed to personalised ones next time we are there.

Would I be correct in assuming that the anonymous ones can be shared?

Bus fares for Cyprus buses are ridiculously cheap, Buses are expensive and running costs are high, If we want new buses with all the bells and whistles who is going to pay for it?
People on low incomes should get free travel, while others and tourists should pay a bit more perhaps?

Actually they are about the same as bus fairs in the UK. I googled it as I was curious. In London a bus ticket is £1.75.
