Concessionary Travel with Centrebus
Local bus travel with us can be great value. As well as our range of discount day, season and combination tickets, we offer concessionary travel rates to many people, including children, students and the elderly. Concessionary permits are usually issued by your local council or education establishment, so please do contact them for more details. You must always carry your concessionary permit when travelling, and show it to the driver each time you board the bus.
Travel for Children
Children aged under 5 travel free on Centrebus services, provided they are accompanied by an adult passenger.
In Leicestershire, children aged under 14 can get a discount on standard single and return fares. On services within Leicester City and Hinckley Town, this is usually a discount of around 30% off the price of an adult ticket, but outside the City Area, the discount increases to around 50% on most services.
We recommend you get a citizencard to prove your age to the driver. From the age of 14 upwards, children and students pay the standard adult fare.
Travel for Senior Citizens
If you are over 60, you qualify for free bus travel with Centrebus at off-peak times from 1st April 2008. You need to obtain a permit from your local district or borough council to claim the concession on the bus. Off-peak travel means anytime between 09:30 and 23:00 (11pm) Monday to Friday, or any time at weekends or on public holidays. Local residents can get additional travel benefits, including free or reduced rate peak time travel.
