Children are can travel on North East buses for free this Easter thanks to special offers launched at the start of the school holidays.
Fare-paying customers will be able to take up to three children aged 11 and under for free on public transport in Tyne and Wear, Northumberland and Durham until May 7. The Metro and Shields Ferry already have in place a permanent deal for people to take the kids for free when they travel.
Now Easter offers have been launched by bus companies Arriva North East, Go North East and Stagecoach North East as part of a new partnership with councils to grow sustainable public transport and fight the climate emergency.
