Getting around

Bus Passes
Below is a quick guide to bus passes you may use:

Children under the age of 5 who are with an adult travel free.
School children aged 5-16 can get cheaper fares on public transport Monday to Friday 8am to 7pm (except in August) with an Under 16 card.

Download an application form here, visit the website for more information or call into any Nexus Travelshop. The Under 16 card offers the cheapest fares.

For travel at other times, disabled children can get a Concessionary Travel pass, which lets you pay cheaper fares. The pass can be used after 9am Monday to Friday, and all day at the weekend and on Bank Holidays. To get a pass, you have to have a Social Services assessment first. To find what you should do next contact Social Services on (0191) 553 7128 or child.disability@ssd.sunderland.gov.uk. An application form can be downloaded here
