I have made the trip before from Oban to Iona, 7 years ago. I am trying to purchase tickets for the voyage and only see the bus tickts as 24 hour pass on Mull for £18. It used to be about £4-6 for a one-way ticket. Do they only have the 24 hour pass now? Also, is there somewhere to purchase both ferry tickets and the bus ticket together?
Thank you so much.

From Traveline Scotland the single bus fare is £10.50, or a 2 Journey ticket (a day or period return valid for 28 days). You just buy those from the bus driver.
No, the bus tickets are just buy from driver- or for the £18 day pass on the West Coast Motors App. Buying on the App doesn't give you any kind of priority over other passengers. But that £18 ticket isn't available from the driver. So if you wanted to do Iona and Tobermory on the same day that is the ticket you would buy.
The Combo ferry/bus ticket is the West Coast Tours day tour ticket- which is a lot more expensive than the sum of the parts of the bus and the two ferries. That is what happens when you have a captive tourist market.
