Metro issues School Cards and Boarding Cards for travel to and from school. Some pupils are entitled to free travel (see Free Passes below).
If you are not entitled to free travel you may still be able to make savings on school journeys by purchasing a pass from Metro. Please contact Education Transport on
0113 348 11 22 for further details.
Metro also has a range of passes for young people who use public transport outside of school hours.
