School Transport Team, Old Town Hall, King William Street, Blackburn, BB1 7DY Tel: 01254 585003 Fare Payment Options Following the recent Covid-19 pandemic, schools, operators and the authority are looking at ways to move towards a cashless payment system on school buses. Due to the different types of ticket machines and back-office setups used by different operators, it is not possible to arrange a ‘smart card’ type option at this time. We have two options available at this time and hopefully one will suit your needs. SEASON TICKETS: A season ticket is ideal for pupils who travel regularly on school transport. Tickets can be bought for a term or for the whole school year. This offers peace of mind to parents and hassle free for pupils boarding the bus. This ticket also offers a 10% discount on normal fares. The cost is based on the daily fare times the number of school days, less 10% discount. EXAMPLE: (Note, fares are based on Blackburn local schools. Out of borough schools may be charged at a higher fare rate). There are 190 school days per year, the daily fare is £2.50 (£1.25 single) 190 days X £2.50 = £475.00 For the termly season ticket, this is divided in to three equal parts = £158.33 per term. With the discount applied, the yearly season ticket is £427.50, the termly season ticket being £142.50. The termly season ticket runs from September to Christmas, Christmas to Easter and Easter to July, with renewal forms sent out prior to the new term starting. Some terms may be slightly longer than others but the fee is averaged out over the academic year. PRE-PAID TRAVEL VOUCHER: School This voucher has been introduced to offer a more flexible option to pupils who may not travel on school services regularly, such as sixth form pupils, pupils who may walk or cycle but occasionally use the bus or for those whose parents may pick them up/drop them off from time to time. It also offers more flexibility to those on tight budgets. These vouchers come in books of 20 or 50 and are priced at face value, which will be the pupils regular single fare of £1.25 or £1.75, depending on their location.
