Young people

Young people are entitled to a number of great discounts when travelling with Carousel Buses.

Child fares

On our buses, we offer Child fares for customers under 16 years of age on all routes. Up to two children under the age of 5 travel free with a fare paying customer (including holders of an English National Concessionary Travel Scheme pass).

Young Person tickets

We offer a range of Young Person tickets for customers aged 18 and under on the Carousel Buses app.

Hertfordshire SaverCard

We participate in the Hertfordshire SaverCard scheme (only available to Hertfordshire residents) which gives a 50% discount on Adult Single and Return fares for journeys within Hertfordshire and to/from certain locations in neighbouring counties, including Chesham Broadway, Amersham Station and Amersham College.

Buckinghamshire Yoti CitizenCard

We participate in the Buckinghamshire CitizenCard scheme (available to 16 and 17 year olds) and offer holders a flat Single fare of £1.20 in Zone A and B, and a flat Single fare of £1.50 for journeys that extend into Zone C. Journeys must be wholly within Buckinghamshire and commence after 09:00 Monday to Friday (no time restrictions apply at weekends).

Terms and conditions

How do I prove I qualify for a discount?

Carousel Buses drivers will always require proof of entitlement to discounts linked to specific products (i.e. Hertfordshire SaverCard or Buckinghamshire CitizenCard).

Our drivers may request proof of age for anyone asking for a Child fare regardless of age, or from anyone who boards one of our services with a Young Persons 18 & under ticket.

We will accept photographic driving licenses, passports or photo ID/proof of age cards from any nationally recognised schemes such as the CitizenCard for age-related discounts.

Student ID cards do not entitle the holder to any discount.
