If you’re 21 or under, you can now go by bus for just £1 or less. Or, you can buy a £3 unlimited day ticket to get round County Durham, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear – you can go by Metro or ferry too.
Adults can now get a cheaper all day bus ticket to use across the North East. For just £6.80 you can travel all day across Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, and County Durham on any bus, the Metro, Shields Ferry, and the Northern Rail services between Blaydon and Sunderland.
The Bus Passenger Charter sets out what you can expect when travelling on any of the region’s buses and what can be done if the experience falls short of our commitment to you.
The North East Enhanced Partnership put together a Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) bid, and as a result the region was awarded £163.5 million by the Department of Transport.
This funding is being used on a variety of initiatives, including the fares and ticketing offers detailed above, and a regionwide bus passenger charter.
For more information on the BSIP or the North East Enhanced Partnership, please contact the North East Combined Authority.
