Fares and Ticketing
Greater Manchester has taken steps to simplify and lower bus fares in order to support residents during the current cost of living pressures, while attracting more people to use buses.
From January 2025, the fares on Bee Network services (including TfGM School Services) will be:
- A new £1 ‘Hopper’ fare will replace child single tickets, allowing them to hop on a number of Bee Network buses within 60 minutes of buying a ticket on the bus (available on bus only)
- 1-day Bee Bus ticket: £5 Adult / £2.50 Child
- 7-day Bee Bus ticket: £20 Adult / £10 Child
- 28-day Bee Bus ticket: £80 Adult / £40 Child
The 1-day, 7-day and 28-day tickets provide unlimited travel on all buses in Greater Manchester (including TfGM School Services) and are available to purchase on the Bee Network App, on bus (1-day & 7 day), Bee Network Travel & Information Offices and PayPoint(7-day & 28-day).
There are also some fares which are only valid on TfGM School Services:
- Return – £2
- TfGM School Weekly Ticket – £7.60 (available to purchase only as a smart ticket on bus and at a Bee Network Travel & Information Office)
- Carnet (10 Single Trips) – £10 (available to purchase only as a smart ticket on bus and at a Bee Network Travel & Information Office)
Children aged 11-16 require an IGO card to access child fares.
School bus services are regularly updated, so please look up school bus services via the TFGM website for the most up to date versions.
