Under 5
Up to four children under 5 years old can travel for free when accompanied by a responsible, fare-paying adult.
These children can’t:
- take a seat that paying passengers might need
- stay in a buggy in an unsuitable place on the bus
Children under 5 who can’t travel for free can travel for between half and two-thirds the cost of most adult fares.
See our conditions of carriage for more information about carrying small prams and buggies.
