A quicker, easier way for full fare paying adult passengers to pay for Bee Network buses and trams is here! Contactless tap and go is a new hassle-free way to pay.
Manchester students now have lots of easy ways to pay for bus and tram travel, including tap and go.
- On buses, for a single ticket or 1-day ticket, then tap and go is the cheapest and easiest way to pay.
- If students are only travelling by tram, tap and go is the easiest way to pay.
- If students are using a combination of bus and tram or travelling weekly or monthly then other tickets may be cheaper and we recommend using the Bee Network ticket finder.
- Students that have already bought a Bee Bus Student term ticket should continue to use that.
How does tap and go work?
🚌 On bus: tap once on the ticket machine when you get on.
🚎 On tram: tap the card reader at your tram stop before you get on – and after you get off.
Be sure to avoid card clash. If you use the Bee Network app or have a Bee Network smart card, keep them separate from any payment cards when using scanning the app or tapping on the bus. That might mean taking your cards out of your phone case, purse or wallet to avoid them being charged.
