All-day bus travel from just 82p a day
School. College. Work. Friends. Weekends. Wherever they’re heading, there’s an under-18 bus ticket to help them get there for less.
Choose from tickets for one journey, one day or regular travel throughout the week, month or term.
More freedom to go their own way
Bus travel is about much more than getting to school or college.
With the right ticket, they can use the bus for:
- after-school activities
- part-time jobs
- meeting friends
- shopping and days out
- evenings and weekends
- travel during the school holidays
More freedom for them. Fewer lifts for you.
