I have no need for mortal transport, I fly.
To get into Colchester (15-20 minute drive in a car) and back it costs £6.50-£6.75. It's smurfing ridiculous. This is why I never use public transport in the south unless I have to because they rip you off massively.
You guys have free buses? Wow. That's awesome.
I pay £35 a month for unlimited travel on Lothian Buses, which stop within a minute or two of walking from pretty much anywhere I'd ever need to go in Edinburgh. The two bus routes from my flat to the city both stop by 4-5 times every hour around my flat on a weekday, and 2-4 times per hour during the weekend. The bus from the city to my work, however, stops by every 3-5 minutes on weekdays, which is pretty awesome. Up to 20 buses per hour in that direction!
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
For rides within the city limits it's 14 SEK which would be a little over £1. If I want to go see my parents (who live a little more than an hour away by car), I think the fare is 75 SEK, approximately £6.
Before 2007, I was young enough for the "half" tickets, which are 60% of the price. The buses were also slightly cheaper then, so I got away with 8 SEK (63p) and 45 SEK (£3.59).

As a high school student I get a free bus pass at the start of every year. But if I forget it or lose it, or decide to catch a bus somewhere outside of a school day, it's $1.40 AUD for an hour pass. For adult's I believe it's $2.60 for an hour pass.
Not bad.

I pay 685 NOK for an unlimited number of fares for one month. That's about 128 USD.

i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
It depends on where I'm going, but when I used to go to school in the neighbour town I'd have to pay around 5 dollars, but that's also an adult ticket. It's a lot cheaper if you have a so-called "wildcard".
Hm it depends! Last time I got the bus it was 1€20 but probably now is 1€50 IF you buy the ticket on the bus (and it's just one trip so it'll end up being 1€50 since one place to another and others 1€50 to return from that place!)
However people buy large tickets outside the bus with 2 trips that cost 1€20!
My daily bus home is £1.85 for a child fare (because it's not a London bus), which I try and get cos the adult fare is double that and I'm supposed to pay that, but I can pass for 15.
Once I get to the edge of London the buses are free and I can travel to anywhere in the city for 50p (or £1 if I have to use the DLR on the other side of the city). Student Oyster card <3.

It costs between £1.80 and £2.20 for me to get the bus to work. I hate it. I also get the train after the bus. >_>
Overpriced England, I guess. Hoping to learn to drive, but that'll cost even more.
