A bus-only MetroMaster costs £106 and lets you travel as much as you like for one month within the boundaries of South and West Yorkshire. So as well as your regular journeys you can afford to expand your social life.

Buying your MetroMaster

For your first MetroMaster you will need to take along a passport-size photograph for the PhotoCard. You will be issued with either a MetroCard PhotoCard or a BusMaster PhotoCard depending on where you buy your ticket.

Existing MetroCard and BusMaster PhotoCards can be used with MetroMaster, and you can buy your first card up to two working days before the date you want it to start.
