Ring & Ride is intended to provide accessible transport to people of any age who can demonstrate that they find it difficult or impossible to use public transport.
Ring & Ride customers are being reminded to make sure they carry their Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) pass when they travel from Monday 4 April.
From 4 April Ring & Ride users must demonstrate this by:
- Holding a TfGM Concessionary Plus Pass; or
- Holding a TfGM Concessionary Disabled Person Pass; or
- Being aged 70 years old* or over, with mobility issues and holding a TfGM Over 60 Concessionary Pass; or
- Being a TfGM Travel Voucher user.
Passengers must show their pass on each trip to travel and qualify for the concessionary fare.
* Anyone who turns 70 years old between 4 April and 30 June 2016 will remain eligible to use the service during this period.
Trip requests can be made up to seven days in advance. Regular group travel for six people or more can be requested for periods of up to three months.
The Ring & Ride fares and fare structure will also be revised from 4 April, with no changes having been made to the single fare since 2011, almost five years ago.
Information about the changes is available at www.tfgm.com/ringandride. Anyone who wants to find out more can contact Ring & Ride on 0161 200 6011.
