Combined Authority announces cheaper bus journeys for 19 to 25 year olds in Wakefield
MCard has launched longer-term bus ticketing options for 19 to 25-year-olds and full-time students.
As part of the extended ticket range, students across Wakefield, and the wider region, can choose between termly, academic year and calendar year MCard bus-only tickets to save costs over a longer period of time.
For example, buying a bus-only ticket for the first academic term of the year would save a student over £50 compared to buying weekly tickets.
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."
