Free bus travel for kids in Greater Manchester this summer (information provided by Bee Network)

As part of the government’s Great British Summer Savings campaign, children aged five to 15 will have unlimited free bus travel in England, including on Bee Network bus services, throughout August.

In addition to this, 16-year-olds in Greater Manchester will be able to activate their Our Pass one month earlier (from 1 August instead of 1 September), giving them an extra month of free bus and cheaper tram travel.

The move means that all young people in Greater Manchester will be entitled to free bus travel for the whole month, with under-5s travelling free on the Bee Network all year round.

The government’s Great British Summer Savings scheme, which is aimed at making days out more affordable for families this summer, was announced earlier this year.

No registration or sign-up is required to benefit from the Summer Savings scheme on the Bee Network, anyone aged between five and 15 can just ask the driver for a free ticket as they board the bus.
