Metrolink to AXE one-day travel cards from its app as part of 'fare evasion' crackdown

Metrolink bosses have announced that the option to purchase one-day travel passes via its app will soon be removed as part of a crackdown on 'fare evasion'.

Metrolink passengers will no longer be able to purchase 1-day travelcards via the Get Me There app from June 13, 2022. From then on, passengers are being advised to travel by touching-in and out with their contactless card via the smart reader at each stop.

The tram operator said the decision to remove 1-day cards from the app comes after reports that a small number of passengers have attempted to travel without paying, and then only paying for a ticket when inspections take place.
