One Way £1 Young Persons Fares

This scheme offers reduced price bus travel for young people in the Yorkshire Dales area. The scheme is designed to make bus travel easier and give young people in the Dales the opportunity to go places, meet friends and have fun.

Young people, aged under 19 with appropriate proof of age, can now make a single journey on many buses in the Yorkshire Dales for just £1 after 5pm on weekday evenings and at anytime at weekends and during school holidays.
