Bus firm launches new deals

NOW that the school holidays are over, Xplore Dundee is reminding parents and pupils about its range of services, as well as new additions the Ten Journey ticket and the Class Pass.

Managing director Elsie Turbyne said: “School services are vitally important to our network and we run buses across the city, connecting neighbourhoods and schools with fast, frequent services.

“Every school in Dundee is on or within walking distance of at least one bus route which runs every 10 minutes or less.

“We also operate seven dedicated services on behalf of the city council for the schools with the largest catchment areas.

“Not only that but we are the only city operator in Scotland to offer child and young person fares all the way up to and including the age of 18. So, whether your child needs to use the bus every single day, or j ust needs to know we’re there as a back-up when the taxi of mum and dad is needed elsewhere, we’ve got services and tickets to suit everyone.

“The Ten Journey is a new, flexible ticket ideal for those who travel occasionally but not frequently, allowing customers t o purchase multiple j ourneys i n advance. It’s a cost-effective way to pay for travel, as each trip works out at £1.30 and there is no time-sensitive expiration for the ticket.

T h e C l a s s Pa s s is another recently-introduced ticket which enables large groups to travel for a discounted price.
