Changes to young persons travel cards from 1 September - 590 only
From 1 September, customers can use the Bee Network app to travel on the 590 service with Our Pass and the new 18–21 Pass.
Our Pass:
- You’ll now receive your Our Pass directly in the Bee Network app (instead of a physical card).
- To travel, simply activate your Our Pass ticket and scan the QR code on the bus ticket machine.
- Remember: The Pass ID alone isn’t valid for travel – you’ll need both your ticket and Pass ID if asked for inspection.
- If you already have a physical Our Pass card, you can continue using it as normal.
18–21 Pass:
- A brand-new 18–21 Pass is being introduced.
- With an 18–21 Pass ID, you’ll be able to buy a half-price 28-day Bee Bus ticket for just £40 (normally £80).
- Apply via the Bee Network app from 1 September – you’ll need proof of age and address in Greater Manchester.
- Once approved, your Pass ID will appear in the app, and you can buy and use discounted tickets straight away.
For those who can’t use the app, a paper application will be available at Bee Network Information and Ticket offices.
