[flashy]

i think this has got totally out of hand, was boarding a bus with Reece yesterday and the driver stopped me and asked me how old he was, as Reece is 11 and the smallest 11 year old around i was gobsmacked, the driver then said to me you will have to pay full fare for him, i asked why and he said because you havent got a young persons saver card for him, i hadnt a clue what he was on about, so he gave me a leaflet....

If you're aged between 11 and 16 you may still travel at the reduced rate, but you will need to obtain a Young Person's Saver Card.


Children aged 10 and under may wish to consider obtaining a Young Person's Saver Card to prove entitlement to the reduced rate.

Young People Aged 11 to 16
Young people aged between 11 and 16 may travel at the reduced rate upon production of a valid Young Person's Saver Card.

Young people aged 11 and above who do not have a Young Person's Saver Card (or similar proof of age) will be required to pay the FULL ADULT FARE.

Young people who do not live in Lancashire may use any other bus company or local authority proof of age card to obtain reduced rate travel on our services.

Aged 11 to 14
Saver Cards issued to young people aged 11 to 14 are valid for 12 months.

Aged 15
Saver Cards issued to young people aged 15 are valid for 12 months, or until 31st July following their 16th birthday - whichever is sooner.

Aged 16
Saver Cards issued to young people aged 16, and in Year 11 at school, are valid until 31st July following their 16th birthday.

This ensures that all Secondary School students (up to Year 11) may travel at the reduced rate.



apparently these saver cards are available at the library in Accrington or the bus place on Ainsworth street in Blackburn, if you are aged between 11 and 13 you dont need to pay for them, but older than that they are £2 a year, you will need to take with you 2 passport sized photo's and a passport or birth certificate


is this transdev's way of making a few extra pounds??
