Passengers in Cork are set to benefit from the introduction of a new 90-minute fare for city bus services on 20th July, allowing unlimited transfers within the city for a single price during that time. This follows the implementation of new on-board ticket validators, which enable faster boarding via Leap Card taps while reducing delays and enhancing service reliability.
Fare structures also have been simplified, with adult Leap Card users paying a flat rate of €1.70, with the counterpart being €0.85 for young adults and students, while that for children becomes €0.55. At the same time, cash fares for adults rise to €2.40 and those for children drop to €0.80. However, the old single journey adult Leap Card fares of €1.35 and €1.55 have been replaced, meaning a price increase for many who are not cash users. Nevertheless, free travel passes remain valid, and fare capping is now available.

Due to a major road closure on the A54 Macclesfield Road between 25th July and 30th October 2026, High Peak service 58 will be unable to serve the Cat & Fiddle section of its route and will instead divert via Long Hill, Kettleshulme and Rainow. Most journeys will continue beyond Macclesfield Bus Station to serve the Black Road area, though the Burbage area of Buxton will not be served during this period due to the length of the diversion. Revised Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday timetables will operate throughout the closure, with the Sunday and bank holiday service continuing to extend to and from Chatsworth House via Bakewell and Monyash as before.
