Annual Season Bus Tickets
ON THE BUSES!
Do you travel regularly on the bus? If so, spread the cost using an Arriva Season Ticket!!
Durham University has joined Arriva's Employer Travel Club which means all staff who use Arriva bus services in the North East and who purchase an annual bus season ticket can spread the cost of payment over the year. This arrangement, continuing from 1st January 2013, gives you a discount on your annual ticket if you pay on a monthly basis by direct debit.
