At what age did you start paying for an adult bus fare?
...and what are are you supposed to start paying for an adult rather than a half / child ticket? I'm 17 and have only recently started asking for one. I do look slightly older than my age though. A return to the city centre (20 minutes away) costs just under £5. 
Plus they've put the prices up...

Where you from? I get on the bus free 
, cos in London all people under 18 and in full time education have free bus travel. It probably ends this year though 
. But yeah, I think it'll be different in different areas.

Bus fares are unfair...
It's supposed to be fourteen, and that's how old I was when I first paid adult fare, then it was kind of variable between about fourteen and sixteen, which is when I reach 5'7" and didn't pass as fourteen anymore ... and it's been constantly adult since then. I'm nineteen now, and the bus drivers assume I should be paying adult fare ... which is fair enough, how many 5'10" (I've grown 
) fourteen year old girls do you get? What I don't understand is why the shop workers who ID me to buy cigars, rent out 15 or 18 films (or the cinema worker who ID'd for 12A not long ago 
) can't use the same logic, though...
£5 for a return to somewhere twenty minutes away... Don't suppose you live in Cambridgeshire, do you?
EDIT: Oh, just saw you live in Nottingham. Tourist cities, always a pain. Actually, anywhere that close costs a lot here...

On Wilts and Dorset buses it's nineteen.
it's supposed to be sixteen (here anyway), I just ask for my ticket in a sweet voice and do puppydog eyes, then if they give me child it's their fault for being heightist and making assumptions 
I would try and get away with it more often but I feel guilty, also the bus drivers here are mean and interrogate you about your birthday and I always get flustered and give a fake birthday that makes me older not younger

It's free in London for up to 18's if you're in full time education, at least it was when I was 18.
Haven't been on a bus in ages, but I think a single fare is like £2.

16, £1.70 in Birmingham (£3.30 for a day ticket). Not too shabby but no change can be given so you can end up paying £4.
Pales in to insignifcance when I go to London and pay inordinate prices for travel.
