The travel operator said the price hike comes as the 'cost of running' its buses continues to rise.
A spokesperson said: "We’ve worked hard to minimise the impact on our customers while continuing to invest in our services, our fleet, and our teams.
"These investments include: introducing better buses and zero-emissions vehicles, improving punctuality and introducing new services, and supporting fair wages for the hardworking colleagues who deliver services every day."
As part of the price rises, single and return fares will increase from as little as 10p, McGill's have said.
Here's all the changes:
