Young people
Get great deals for young people, aged between 5 and 18, with our free busID.
Our busID allows you to load tickets straight onto the card via your online account, use it to accompany our child mobile-tickets on the app, or to pay a reduced cash fare from the driver. If you top up online your new ticket can take up to 5 hours from the purchase time to be available to use on the bus. This excludes both Annual and Pay Monthly tickets as these require a predetermined start date of at least 48 hours after the date of buying a product.
Here are details of tickets available both online and on our app:
