MetroCard repays regular travellers within the Metro area by cutting the cost of travel.  You can buy one for a week, a month, a quarter (3 months) or a year. Choose a MetroCard just for bus travel or pick one that also covers rail journeys within the zones you select. And there are two special versions for young travellers: the School Plus MetroCard and the Student Plus MetroCard.

MetroCard means:

• Savings for regular travellers
• No hunting for change to buy a ticket for each journey
• The great value for money travel cards which give virtually unlimited travel on buses or trains in West Yorkshire
• Unlimited travel on train services within the zones you choose
• Weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual options.
• No price changes while the ticket is valid.

How to choose your MetroCard

• If you don’t use trains regularly, choose a Bus MetroCard.
• If you travel into, or through Leeds station regularly, the location of your home station on the map will show you which card you should buy.
• If your regular train journey does not go to, or through Leeds station, you will need a Zones 2-5 MetroCard.
• If you are aged 5 - 15, or a full-time school student aged 16 to 18, choose a bus-only School Plus Metrocard.
• If you are under 22 or a full time student choose a Student Plus MetroCard.

Metro operates a replacement or refund service for quarterly and annual MetroCards which have been registered with Metro.

MetroCards are valid on most services run by any operator in West Yorkshire, except for Nightrider and special bus services, such as football and concert specials and some school contract services.
