New ‘bus and tram’ tickets 20% cheaper as Greater Manchester moves closer to ‘London-style’ transport network
Bus and tram tickets are to be launched cutting the cost of travel in Greater Manchester for many users by 20 per cent from September. The Bee Network starts on September 24, when the city-region becomes the first to bring bus services under local control since 1986.
Mr Burnham also said the £2 cap on bus fares would be continued until September 2024 as Transport for Greater Manchester had secured ongoing support from the Government. He said: “The Bee Network is of fundamental importance to Greater Manchester and all of these benefits will soon be realised.“From September, across all of Greater Manchester, we are cutting the cost of public transport by 20 per cent for people who are prepared to use it most.
An adult trip by bus and tram from Oldham to Manchester Royal Infirmary will be £1 cheaper off peak and £1.40 at peak times from September 24. A similar bus and tram journey from Stalybridge to the Etihad stadium will cost 70p less off peak and 80p less at peak times.
