College students

if you're aged 16-18 and in further education, travelling to and from college can be pretty expensive - not to mention meeting your mates in town.

Your journey will work out much cheaper if you buy a weekly, monthly or yearly travel pass. Which pass you will need will depend on which mode of transport you use (e.g. metro, bus, ferry, train).

The Nexus website will help you choose the best ticket to buy - saving you time and money. Check out the ticket finder to see which option is best for you, or view the bus routes for local colleges
