Fare discount schemes
There are many ways of paying for bus and train travel. If you are commuting regularly then it is worth considering getting a season ticket. At Thorpe Park we have identified a range of opportunities to obtain local bus and rail fare reductions with MetroCard discount schemes.
MetroCard repays regular travellers within the Metro area by cutting the cost of travel. You can buy one for a week, a month, a quarter (3 months) or a year. Choose a MetroCard just for bus travel or pick one that also covers rail journeys within the zones you select. MetroCards can be purchased from any Metro Travel Centre, bus and train stations and most post offices.
MetroCard means:
Savings for regular travellers
No hunting for change to buy a ticket for each journey
The great value for money travel cards which give virtually unlimited travel on buses or trains in West Yorkshire
Unlimited travel on train services within the zones you choose
Weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual options.
No price changes while the ticket is valid.
How to choose your MetroCard
If you dont use trains regularly, choose a Bus MetroCard.
If you travel into, or through Leeds station regularly, the location of your home station on the map will show you which card you should buy.
If your regular train journey does not go to, or through Leeds station, you will need a Zones 2-5 MetroCard.
If you are under 22 or a full time student choose a Student Plus MetroCard.
Where to find further information and how to buy a MetroCard:
MetroCards can be purchased from any Metro Travel Centre, bus and train stations and most post offices, and further information is available at www.wymetro.com/TicketsAndPasses.

Additional savings of up to 15% are available to any member of staff whose company has signed up to the Company MetroCard scheme. For further details e-mail the Thorpe Park Travel Plan Co-ordinator at john.hacker@travelplanservices.co.uk
Metro operates a replacement or refund service for quarterly and annual MetroCards which have been registered with Metro.
MetroCards are valid on most services run by any operator in West Yorkshire, except for Nightrider and special bus services, such as football and concert specials and some school contract services.
