More Tips for Flexible Travel and Best-Value Tickets

Longer term tickets such as Monthly and Annual MCards offer the best value for money for frequent public transport travellers on any bus or train within West Yorkshire (excluding special services). Annual MCard holders will not be affected by price changes during the life of their Annual MCard.
 
If you want to keep your travel options open, then DaySaver tickets bought through the MCard Mobile App can be activated as and when you need them and buying 10 tickets in one transaction offers even more savings per journey.
 
Make your commute easier and more affordable with discounts of up to 12%. Check if your employer is part of the West Yorkshire Travel Plan Network and sign up to their salary deduction scheme to get a Corporate Annual MCard or a Mega DaySaver  offer of 50 or 100 tickets to use within a year.
