How far can i go?

Going somewhere? Well, your b_line card can get you a cheaper fare!

There are two types of b_line card. b_line1 which proves you qualify for a child fare. And b_line2 which gets you up to a third off the adult fare.

There are some rules about how you can use your card. They are listed below and you can also check whether you can use your card on the buses you use.

We've listed all the rules below, and you can also check whether the bus route you use is within the rules.

If you have any problems, you can always call us or email us!

Buses - where can i travel with my b_line card?

Travel anywhere within Derbyshire and to some nearby towns and cities as long as the journey starts or finishes in Derbyshire and is on a direct bus route.

There are also some places outside Derbyshire where you can travel to and from with your card:

Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Ashton Under Lyne, Beeston, Burton upon Trent, Hucknall, Hyde, Leek, Leicester, Loughborough, Macclesfield, Manchester, Mansfield, Meadowhall, Nottingham, Sheffield, Stockport, Uttoxeter, Worksop.

You must use a direct bus, for example:

If you get on a bus in Derby and go straight to Meadowhall you'll get a cheaper fare, you can't jump off in Sheffield city centre and then catch another bus to Meadowhall (well, you can, but you won't get the cheaper fare)!

Bus checker

Below is a list of most of the buses in Derbyshire. Just type in your bus number or name (e.g 43, "V3", "Pronto") and see if your route appears in the list below. If it does, you’re good to go.

Important

If your station doesn’t have a ticket office or if it is closed, you can use your card to buy a ticket in the train. But if you can buy a ticket at a ticket office, you need get one before you get on the train or you might end up paying full fare.

Our advice, get there early and work out whether you need a ticket in advance or not.
