Cheaper bus journeys available for 19 to 25 year olds in West Yorkshire
Cheaper bus tickets are available for 19 to 25 year olds and full-time students over 25 on the MCard mobile app as the new academic year starts.
As part of the extended ticket range, students can choose between termly, academic year and calendar year MCard bus-only tickets to save costs over a longer period of time.
Young people can take an unlimited number of bus journeys with a bus-only ticket, on any service on weekdays and weekends.
West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin said: "Thousands of students across West Yorkshire take the bus not only to get to university or college, but also to get to their part-time jobs, the gym, to see friends and visit family.
"As students get ready for the new academic year, we are giving young people an easier, cheaper and more flexible way to get around, with everything they need on one app.
"The fantastic success of our MCard is paving the way for a better-connected West Yorkshire, as we prepare to rollout our Weaver Network."
MCard allows people to buy and store tickets to use on buses and trains across West Yorkshire, regardless of the operator.
General Manager at MCard, John Henshall said: "We are excited to be able to improve the ticketing range for the tickets which people need.
"Working with colleagues at the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and operators, this is an important step in ensuring the right foundations are in place for Weaver Network ticketing ensuring flexibility, accessibility and affordability for all passengers."
