If you travel most days, say to work or to college, save money with touch & go from Warrington’s Own Buses, either on our app or as a smartcard. Pre-load with the ticket of your choice, then every time you travel just show the driver the ticket on your phone or touch your smartcard on the card reader on the bus. There’s no deposit and, not only does it save you money, it gives you unlimited travel on many of the buses run by Warrington’s Own Buses, including The Pops, Cheshire Cats, Connect 17 & Blueline.
