Tickets and fares:
If you're aged between 11 and 16, and you live or go to school in Greater Manchester, you can apply to get an igo pass. The pass allows you to travel at a reduced fare on our buses, and it's available for just £10 from Transport for Greater Manchester. You can find out more about the pass, and apply to get one online.
You must carry your pass with you on all journeys, and show the bus driver when requesting your ticket on the bus - our drivers won't be able to sell you a reduced rate ticket if you don't have a valid igo pass with you.
Aged 16-18?
If you're aged between 16 and 18, you can apply for free bus travel under the new One Pass scheme. The pass is an ID card and a smart card that entitles 16-18 year olds to free travel on local bus services across Greater Manchester. Find out more and see if you're eligible to apply for Our Pass.
