PASSPORT

IT'S SMART THINKING USING THE BUS... SO THERE SHOULD BE A SMART WAY OF BUYING YOUR TICKET TOO

That's why we have the PASSPORT cards giving you a more convenient and flexible way of using our buses that suits your lifestyle and needs.

So what is the PASSPORT smartcard?

Unlike a paper-style bus pass the Newport Bus PASSPORT card is a unique credit card-style photo ID, similar to a driving licence. It fits into your wallet and is a more secure and flexible pass for getting about on our network. When boarding one of our buses you simply place your PASSPORT on the ticket machine next to the driver and away you go.

The PASSPORT is available in weekly, monthly and annual card types from our Travel Centre at Newport Bus Station and our offices on Corporation Road. Unlike a driving licence you don't have to supply your own photograph as we take care of that for you when you purchase your card. Your photograph is then printed onto your unique PASSPORT smart card and you're ready to start using our buses, it's that easy!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PASSPORT CARDS

We will shortly be introducing two new PASSPORT cards, which will make travelling cheaper on our buses compared to buying a day ticket.

The standard PASSPORT card, which is green in colour, will give you unlimited travel in zone 1 only, but not journeys between both zones. The PASSPORT PLUS card, which is yellow, will give you unlimited travel in ALL zones.

Those that have existing PASSPORT cards will not be charged to update to a new one. Any existing credit on your card will also be valid until it expires. However, we will shortly be announcing details of a cutoff date when you will not be able to add any further credit to your card and will need to update to a new one. Existing PASSPORT cards will be valid in both zones until the introduction of the new cards.

* A one off administration payment of £5 is required when purchasing a smart card for the first time.
