Igo card applications and summer drop-in sessions
If your child is 11-16 years old, they will need an igo card to travel using child tickets on buses and trams in Greater Manchester. It can take up to two weeks to process their igo card application, so make sure you apply in plenty of time for the start of the new term if your child is travelling on public transport.
The Bee Network team is on hand to help at five pop-up stalls at interchanges across Greater Manchester this summer. Simply drop by between 10am – 2pm to speak to staff and get your application in early:
· Tuesday 29 July: Bolton Interchange
· Tuesday 5 August: Bury Interchange
· Tuesday 12 August: Shudehill Interchange
· Tuesday 19 August: Stockport Interchange
· Tuesday 26 August: Altrincham Interchange
Make sure you bring:
· A passport-sized colour photo of the child that’s applying.
· Proof of name and age of the child applying: a copy of your birth certificate, adoption certificate, medical card, passport or EU/EEA card. Please do not bring original documents.
· Payment (for the £10 fee).
You can also apply for an igo card by post or at a Bee Network Information and Ticket Office. Visit beenetwork.com/igo for more information.
