#GETONBOARD in Greater Manchester

Simple and clear low bus fares will be available in Greater Manchester from Sunday 4 September, making it easier for people to get around the city-region. 

Adults will pay no more than £2 for a single bus journey, while a £5 1 day AnyBus Adult travelcard will cover unlimited bus travel within the 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester until 03.59am the following day.

Children aged five to 16 will pay no more than £1 for any single bus journey. The 1 day AnyBus Junior travelcard will cover unlimited bus travel within Greater Manchester for just £2.50 a day. 

If you are aged between 11 and 16, you will need proof of your age when travelling. An igo card should be used as proof of your age and will let you pay child and junior fares in Greater Manchester until 31 August after your 16th birthday. 

Children under the age of five will continue to travel on buses for free.  

Customers can pay for their journey using cash or card by asking the driver for a single ticket to their destination, or a 1 day AnyBus travelcard. 

The new fares are being introduced 12 months ahead of the launch of the first franchised bus services in Greater Manchester in September 2023, marking an important milestone in the delivery of the Bee Network, our vision for a London-style, fully-integrated transport system. 

The introduction of simple and clear low bus fares is intended to support people in Greater Manchester with the increased cost of living.
