Students and under 22s
It is often cheaper to buy a season ticket if you're a regular user of buses and/or trains.
Students in full-time study (including mature students) and anyone under the age of 22, can buy a weekly or monthly Student Plus MetroCard, valid on most bus and train services throughout West Yorkshire. You will also need a PhotoCard, which you can buy with your season ticket.
