Southern Vectis is extending its ticketing options for younger passengers by introducing child and young adult bundles for 5, 15 and 30 days on its popular smartcard – The Key.
Southern Vectis’ General Manager, Matt Kitchin said:
“We’re delighted by the response we’ve had since introducing the key for under 18s last year. So now we’re extending the choice, with multi-day bundles.
Article continues below this advertisement “It provides customers with the opportunity to save money by buying multiple tickets. Each is valid for one calendar day – and they don’t have to be used consecutively, so they offer great flexibility.
“The key doubles-up as a form of ID for students travelling by bus. It also makes paying for bus travel safe and secure”.
With immediate effect, passengers who have The Key can top-up with the following multi-day bundles:
Children aged 5-16 inclusive:
5 day – £16.50
15 day – £42.00
30 day – £60
Young adults 17-18:
5 day – £20.00
15 day – £49.00
30 day – £72.00
Anyone wishing to register for The Key smartcard can do so online by entering their name, date of birth, address, email address and uploading a passport photo. Cards can then be collected 3 working days later from the Southern Vectis travel shop in Newport, as long as valid ID is provided to verify age.
Once registered for the key, passengers can top-up online at any time – and tickets will be available to use in just 3 hours.
