Choosing your ticket
Dedicated school services
If you're travelling on a dedicated school service (routes 600-699), you'll need a ticket specifically for that route.
- Unless stated otherwise, these passes can also be used on all local Carousel bus services at any time, seven days a week - ideal for after‑school activities or weekend trips.
- We understand that increasing numbers of schools are now choosing to make their sites ‘smartphone free’, and so we’re pleased to confirm that tickets for all of our dedicated school and college services are available as either mobile app tickets or as reusable smartcards without any difference in cost.
- Some school services require a specific minimum number of customers to commit to using the service before it will be confirmed. You can see more information on this and whether it applies to your service via the link below.
