Need to Pop to the shops? Popping to see your nan, or out with your mates? No need to scramble for change. Now you can travel on public transport in Tyne & Wear with a brand new smartcard - the Pop card.
The Pop card is a smartcard, it lets you do smart things like pay for public transport using a simple plastic card that can be read by machines on stations and vehicles.
This is the balance on your smart card that lets you make journeys. You’ll buy these at a ticket machine, travel shop or online.
You’ll be able to make one last trip home, by using the overdraft on the card, to the value of a 3 zone single Metro ticket.
This makes sure that you always pay the best price for your journeys, in line with the Nexus ‘best price guarantee’.
You’ll be able to add season ticket products to your card, such as an annual Metro Saver.
In the future you could use your smart card to buy your groceries, visit the local gym or even for going to the cinema.
