Add bus travel to your train tickets
PlusBus is a discounted bus (and tram in South Yorkshire) ticket that can only be purchased as an add-on to an eligible train ticket. It provides unlimited travel all day on services within a PlusBus travel zone (e.g. South Yorkshire). There are no peak hour restrictions, so you can hop on and off as much as you like, all day.
You can add a South Yorkshire PlusBus ticket to your train ticket when you’re either:
- Travelling into South Yorkshire from another region by train and need to use the bus or tram once you’re in South Yorkshire
- Travelling out of the South Yorkshire region by train and need to use the bus or tram to get to the train station
