Fares
Through the communities that they serve Regal Busways have a reputation for having cheaper fares over short distances than many of their competitors such as First and Arriva. The reason for these cheaper fares is because Essex County Council fund the services. The no.1 service is no exception to this rule with a single fare for a 7 stop journey costing only 30P.
