*Important changes to Bee Network child tickets
From 23 March tap and go contactless payments are being introduced across Bee Network buses and trams for full fare paying adults only.
Child tickets are not available using tap and go. Children can continue to use their current method of payment for travelling to school or leisure (e.g. cash, contactless).
At the same time, we’re making it even easier to pay for child tickets on the Bee Network app.
Single child hopper tickets will be available on the app, alongside a range of other child tickets. It’s the safe, cash-free way to pay for travel.
Here’s our top tips for paying for child fares from 23 March:
Download the Bee Network app to pay for a range of child tickets.
- When paying with contactless always ask the bus driver for a child ticket before tapping your card (to avoid getting charged adult fare).
- Keep your TfGM travel pass (igo card, Our Pass) separate from bank cards when you tap the card reader, to avoid your bank card being charged an adult fare.
As always, your one-stop-shop for travelling to school information is available at www.beenetwork.com/schools
