Concessionary Fares
Pupils not entitled to a free bus pass can take advantage of the concessionary fares scheme we run in partnership with the bus companies.
Secondary school concessions
We operate a scheme in conjunction with the bus companies to enable all children to travel for a reduced fare within the city boundary.
The scheme does not require the children to carry a pass to receive a reduced fare. The fares vary according to operator, and are subject to change without notice.
