Moving On?

Helping 16-22 year-olds to get the best from public transport.

Moving on - cards on a busMetro is highlighting to students and young adults how using buses and trains can be a money-saving move in a new campaign called 'Moving On?.

'Moving On?' shows young people aged 16-22 considering going on to sixth form college, university or a new job, just how much they can save using Metro’s School Plus and Student Plus MetroCards and Scholar's PhotoCards. And it reminds them how by using public transport, they are also helping to save the environment.

School Plus MetroCard, Student Plus MetroCard, Young Person's and Scholar's PhotoCard holders can download vouchers for discounts at outlets including Xscape, Crash Records Subway and LazerZone. And they can enter a free prize draw to win one of five, £50 cash prizes or one of 50 runner-up prizes of a £15 iTunes card.

"The discounts available through Metro’s School Plus, Student Plus and Young Person's PhotoCard usually make public transport the cheapest and easiest way to travel," said Metro Chairman Cllr Stanley King.

“With so many demands on their time and money - going out with friends, downloading music and topping up mobile phone credits - young people, or their parents, have to keep a close eye on their money,” he added.

"Through ‘Moving on?’ that’s exactly what Metro aims to help them do.”

The 'Moving On?' booklet is also available at Metro Travel Centres in Bradford Interchange, Halifax, Huddersfield and Leeds Bus stations and from all staffed bus and rail stations.
