Buying tickets on the MCard Mobile App is the most convenient way to buy tickets. Under 19 daily, weekly and monthly tickets are available to purchase via the MCard Mobile App. You can also top up your MCard with tickets using the Mobile App.
If you don’t have a smartphone and therefore unable to use the MCard Mobile App, you can apply for an Under 19 PhotoCard which can be loaded with daily, weekly or monthly tickets for just buses, or buses and trains within West Yorkshire. Find out where you can load your PhotoCard with travel. If you are under 18, your parent/guardian will need to apply on your behalf.

Identification
If you are wearing a school uniform or look under 19, you should not be asked for proof of ID to use a young person’s ticket on the bus. However, if you are not wearing a school uniform and look over 18, your bus driver might ask for identification to prove entitlement to use your concessionary ticket. It’s best to have an Under 19 PhotoCard, but you can also show another form of identification such as a passport, driver’s licence or NUS card.
