One million journeys made cheaper for young people

One million public transport journeys have been made cheaper for young Zoom Beyond travel pass holders in South Yorkshire. 

The special travel concession, offering 18-21 year olds 80p single fares, was introduced to help young people across the region recover from the effects of Covid-19.   

Over 23,000 young people are now benefiting from cheaper travel in South Yorkshire with a Zoom Beyond 18-21 Travel Pass.

The free Pass for 18-21 year olds offers travel for 80p per single journey on bus or tram anywhere in South Yorkshire when shown to a bus driver or tram conductor when paying a fare.

A recent survey showed that Zoom Beyond saves pass holders money, makes it easier to access education, training and employment and encourages the use of buses and trams. Over 75% of 18 to 21 years old in South Yorkshire currently travel by bus and over half by tram at least once a month.

Zoom Beyond is valid on over 175 routes in South Yorkshire, on local services operated by First, Stagecoach, TM Travel, Powells and Supertram. Applications can be made on our Zoom Beyond Travel Pass page.
