New for this year: Boarding Your Bus with ID Scanning!
To make boarding the bus quicker and more secure, our drivers will be using a new scanning system this year. Here is how it works:
On your first day at college, your travel arrangements depend on which type of bus you are using:
College Contracted Buses: You do not need your ID card or a bus pass to board on your first day. There is a short grace period during which you can travel without a pass, giving you time to collect your ID card and get the payment activated.
Arriva Buses: If you are travelling on an Arriva bus route, you will need to pay for your ticket on your first day. Once you arrive at your college site, you can collect your subsidised Arriva bus pass from Student Services. Alternatively, you can visit the Student Services team at your study site before your start date to collect your pass in advance.
New for this year: Boarding Your Bus with ID Scanning!
To make boarding the bus quicker and more secure, our drivers will be using a new scanning system this year. Here is how it works:
The cost per term is as follows:
£90 per term for students aged 16-18
£160 per term for students aged 19 and over
There will also be an option to pay for the full year:
£270 for students aged 16-18
£480 for students aged 19+
This is a contribution towards your bus pass, with Coleg Cambria covering the remaining cost.
Please email transport@cambria.ac.uk or call 0300 30 30 007.
If you miss the bus: It is your responsibility to ensure you are at your designated stop on time. If you miss the bus, you will need to make alternative arrangements to get to college.
If the bus doesn’t show up: Please contact the College’s Transport Line on 01978 515454 or go to Student Services.
