Say goodbye to expensive tickets, and bid farewell to asking your parents for a lift – get your hands on a Stagecoach Coolrider!
Available to anyone under the age of 16 years, the Coolrider means you can hop on any Stagecoach bus anywhere in Middlesbrough, Stockton and Billingham, as many times as you like – all for the equivalent of less than £1 a day!
Do you have what it takes?
This offer isn’t just for everybody, you know – it’s all very exclusive – and you’ll have to prove your eligibility when you buy your Coolrider. To prove your eligibility, you’ll need to get your hands on a Coolrider ID Card from one of our Travelshops.
Our Travelshop, on Stockton High Street, is open Monday to Friday 0900-1630, and on Saturdays between 0900-1500. Mind, we’re closed between 1200-1300, so please don’t call in then, ok!
You’ll need to take along a passport photo and proof of age (we recommend either your birth certificate, your passport or your medical card). Simply pay £1.25, and we’ll issue you with your Coolrider ID Card.
Ok, now I’ve got my Coolrider ID Card, what next?
Now you’ve got your ID Card, you can buy your Coolrider ticket from your Stagecoach on Teesside bus driver. The Coolrider ticket lasts 7 days, and is only £6.90. There are no time restrictions with Coolrider.
Oh, and because we’re Stagecoach, we operate loads of buses throughout Middlesbrough, Stockton and Billingham.

Remember - no ID, no Coolrider!
