BUS operator Transdev has unveiled an offer to help families beat the cost-of-living crisis this summer.

The firm is aiming to bridge the generation gap by encouraging grans and grandads to hop on board with their concessionary travel passes and for one weekend only, to take the grandkids with them all day for just £1.

For one summer weekend, on Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14, Transdev is giving young people under 19 the chance to go anywhere on its huge network of routes spanning Yorkshire, and into Lancashire and Greater Manchester too, for a whole day for just £1 – as long as they Go with Granny (or Grandad) on the Bus.

Alex Hornby, Transdev chief executive, said: “By offering young people the chance to Go with Granny on the Bus, we want to help bridge the generation gap and make sure everyone has the chance to enjoy an amazing two days filled with magical memories.”

Under-19s can buy a go-anywhere day ticket for Transdev’s entire network for just £1 from the driver on August 13 and 14, when they travel with their gran or grandad using a concessionary pass to make the same journeys.
