Child Bus Fares
Discounted fares are available to all children between the ages of 5 and 15 years of age. Children under the age of 5 are carried free of charge.
Upon reaching secondary school age, children are advised to carry an Under 16's ID card in order to prove their age to drivers and therefore claim the discounted fare. Drivers will charge the normal adult fare to persons they suspect to be over the age of 15. These cards are available from our offices at 35 Bacup Road, Rawtenstall and at GMPTE travelshops. A valid birth certificate and passport sized photograph (to include on the pass) are all that is required to claim an identity card. No fee is charged.
Discounted Weekly Rover tickets are available to children in possession of an Under 16's ID card.
Within Greater Manchester however, children travel at the 'flat' concessionary rate,(currently 70p), regardless of the length of the journey. These fares are subsidised by GMPTE. This applies to journeys made which are wholly within the Greater Manchester Concessionary area.
On schoolday only services operated by us under contract to Lancashire County Council, a simplified fare scale applies for all passengers. Click Here for details
On commercially operated services in other areas the reduced rate depends on the day and time of travel with more reductions available to children at off-peak times.
A simple fare scale applies with just three bands. In order to promote off-peak us of our bus services, on Schooldays after 1630 and all day on Saturdays, Sundays and School Holidays the lower rates apply with the slightly higher rates applying at other times.
Currently, until 6th July 2008, our child fares are as follows:
From 6th July 2008, Child Fares will be revised as follows:
Don't forget, for regular bus users, our Young Person's Weekly Rover offers great value, priced at £13.50 for 7 days travel - Click Here for info
Young Person's Rover tickets may only be purchased by holders of "Under 16" or "Young Person's" ID Cards.
