ONE of Wycombe's bus operators has said it has no choice but to raise its fares due to the rising price of fuel.

Arriva, which operates buses across south Bucks, will increase the price on most of its routes between 10p and 20p.

Brian Drury, commercial director for Arriva, said "We have tried to absorb the rising cost of fuel but it has now reached a point where we must pass on an increase to our customers in the High Wycombe area, but we have tried to limit this."

However the price of the High Wycombe Family Shopper and day, week and 4 weekly tickets will remain at the same price.
