Parents can now purchase an Arriva student bus pass for their child and pay by monthly direct debit. Not only will this save them from having to find change for the bus fare each day, but it could also save them money. Student bus passes are charged at £30/month for students who are 18 and under. This could be quite a saving for those who already catch an Arriva bus if you consider that a child's day ticket is £3.50 and a child week ticket is £10.
