A new weekly season ticket called the Park 'n Rider, and valid on Park & Ride services 77/99 only, has been introduced at a cost of 6.00 (what the advantage of this is over the Megarider is unclear).

The Adult Day Explorer, single & return fares, and the special Ely Day Return fares remain unchanged.

It's worth noting that the cheapest return ticket into Cambridge city centre from Milton is still the Dayrider. Drivers do not generally tell you this and will happily sell you a full price return ticket unless you specifically ask for a Dayrider, which is about 50p cheaper than the return, and can be used on buses throughout Cambridge all day long, not just for one return journey.
