Important Information
From Sunday 3 April 2011 changes are being made to the concessionary fares scheme in Greater Manchester. From that date, the standard flat 80p bus fare that children currently pay will change to half the adult fare. The bands have been adjusted appropriately to take account of the fact that some services have a longer, winding route in order to pick up children. The bands will apply service by service, and drivers will know which bus stops on their route mark the transition between bands. Bus drivers may not have this information at present but will do so before the changes come into effect. Children should ask their driver about fares or they can find out on our website www.gmpte.com/passes. New ID arrangements From Monday 16 May 2011 children aged 11 - 16 will have to show drivers an igo pass to confirm they are eligible to pay concessionary child fares on buses in Greater Manchester. Children of any age will need an igo pass to buy a Junior Bus Saver season ticket. Please visit webpage www.gmpte.com/igo/resource for more information.
