BUS company Arriva North East has new child fares and has also introduced more value tickets for under-19s.
The new fares are available online, via the M-Ticket app or can be purchased on board from the bus driver.
All child fares on Arriva North East buses are now valid up to the child's 16th birthday and the Young Persons fare is extended up to age 19.
Nick Knox, area managing director said: “We have been listening to our customers’ feedback on this issue.
Understandably there has been confusion over some of our fares so we have addressed this."
A complete package of young person day and weekly tickets has also been introduced across the network as well as 15 week and academic year for students and young people up to their 19th birthday in each fare zone area.
