With Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) being rolled out across the CalMac ferry network the company is discontinuing multi journey tickets to simplify fares.
Customers will be able to use their current book of multi journey tickets up until October 2. Any remaining tickets after these dates will be refunded at no charge to the customer. “The ethos behind RET was that no customer would be disadvantaged by the changes and the current 50 journey ticket book is better value than the equivalent RET fare, so will remain in place,” said CalMac’s Head of Ticketing and Reservations, Alan Hood. “Although we normally charge a £10 administration fee for anyone looking to cash in unused multi journey tickets this will not apply.” The Scottish Government’s RET initiative aims to match ferry fares with cost of a road journey for the equivalent distance travelled. Passengers can compare how much they will save when the new fares come into force at www.calmac.co.uk.
