Single Fares
A single fare is the fare for a one-way journey, purchased from
the driver when you board the bus. You can buy a single ticket
from the stop where you board to any other stop on the same bus
route, and through Single Fares are also available to some other
points on selected routes.
A single fare is the fare that the bus driver will automatically
charge if you do not request any other type of ticket, or
present a pre-purchased ticket, a
discount pass or permit.
Fares for
Children
Under
Five's
Children aged under 5 travel free.
Aged 5 to 15 inclusive
Discounted fares are available to all children from the age
of 5 years and upwards. Children under the age of 5 are carried
free of charge.
Upon reaching secondary school age, children
must have an Under 16's photocard in order to prove their age to
drivers and therefore claim the discounted fare. Under 16's
photocards are now valid up until the 31st August after the
person's 16th birthday, allowing them to travel at the
discounted after throughout the school year. Drivers will charge
the normal adult fare to persons without an Under 16's photocard
if they suspect to be over the age of 15.
These cards are available from GMPTE
travelshops throughout Greater Manchester (ie bury Interchange,
Rochdale Bus Station or Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester).
You can now apply for a Under 16's photocard at the LCC travel
office at Rawtenstall Library, or alternatively call into our offices at Knowsley Park
Way, Haslingden. 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 80p,
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.
In the West Yorkshire area, children aged 5 to 15 pay half the adult
fare, however anyone aged 11 to 15 must be in possession of a valid
Metro Young person's Photocard. -

These fares are subsidised by Metro.
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 children can now travel at the
flat rate of £1.10 per journey.
