EMEL revises and rounds up passenger transport fares. This is the first time in 10 years that EMEL has revised the fares for its regular transportation services. During this decade, we faced difficulties and challenges, such as the increase in fuel prices, maintenance costs, etc.

Additionally, in the past two years, EMEL has invested and continues to invest up to €25 million in a new fleet of 177 new buses, including 35 electric ones, as well as in various other modernization infrastructure projects for public passenger transport, bearing the burden of successive interest rate increases.

The changes in EMEL bus fares will take effect on Monday, July 29, 2024. The new fares favor the elimination of the previous system, which was complicated especially for passengers and drivers, with change, small coins, etc., something that contributes to reducing boarding times and thus more timely execution of routes.

Despite the slight increase, EMEL continues to maintain its fares among the lowest available in Cyprus. The solution preferred by the vast majority of passengers, namely the MOTION monthly card which allows unlimited rides for one month, increases from €40 to €45 and is the minimum possible increase that could be imposed and well below the permissible maximum fare limits set by Decree of the Minister of Transport.

The daily unlimited travel ticket within one day increases from €5.00 to €6.00. Additionally, the one-way ticket increases from €1.50 to €2.00 from July 29. The night one-way ticket (21:00 – 04:00) increases from €2.50 to €3.00.

Similarly, the reduced fares for eligible passengers become €1.00 for a one-way ticket, €3.00 for a daily ticket, and €1.50 for a night ticket.

Monthly cards issued before July 29 will be valid until their expiration date.

It is also noted that the one-way tickets that must be held by passengers on all routes, including auxiliary ones, are valid for 90 minutes from the first cancellation, so the holder can use it within this time to transfer to a second bus.

All passengers are urged to keep their tickets until the end of each route.

Student fares remain unchanged, with the monthly fare without ride restrictions remaining at €10, the quarterly fare at €25, the semi-annual fare at €45, and the annual fare at €80.
