Fares for Young People
In September 2007 our Young Person's Saver Card scheme was revised and extended, applying to young people aged 11 to 16.
If you're aged between 11 and 16 you may still travel at the reduced rate, but you will need to obtain a Young Person's Saver Card.
Children Aged Under 5
- Up to 3 children travel free with each fare-paying customer.
Children Aged 5 to 10
- Children aged between 5 and 10 inclusive may travel at the reduced rate on all services.
- Children aged 10 and under may wish to consider obtaining a Young Person's Saver Card to prove entitlement to the reduced rate.
Young People Aged 11 to 16
- Young people aged between 11 and 16 may travel at the reduced rate upon production of a valid Young Person's Saver Card.
- Young people aged 11 and above who do not have a Young Person's Saver Card (or similar proof of age) will be required to pay the full adult fare.
- Young people who do not live in Lancashire may use any other bus company or local authority proof of age card to obtain reduced rate travel on our services.
Aged 11 to 14
- Saver Cards issued to young people aged 11 to 14 are valid for 12 months.
Aged 15
- Saver Cards issued to young people aged 15 are valid for 12 months, or until 31st July following their 16th birthday - whichever is sooner.
Aged 16
- Saver Cards issued to young people aged 16, and in Year 11 at school, are valid until 31st July following their 16th birthday.
This ensures that all Secondary School students (up to Year 11) may travel at the reduced rate.
