Bus concessionary child fare

The fare for a single journey on buses is 50p at any time (including evenings), on any day (including weekends and public holidays) if you have an Under 16 Card.

Or travel all day on all public transport for just £1, with an U16 Child All-day Ticket (U16 CAT). You'll need to show your Under 16 Card to buy a U16 CAT - if you haven't got one yet, download your application form from the link below.

If you don't have an Under 16 Card, you'll pay the operator's commercial child fare, which will be more expensive. And if you are (or look like you are) 14 or over, you will be charged the adult fare. So if you live in Tyne and Wear and are under 16, apply for an Under 16 Card now to be entitled to child fares.
