The £1.50 fares are for all buses in the county and city and include travel on direct services into neighbouring local authority areas.
Young people, aged 11 to 19, will need a b_line card to be able to get the discounted fare. The cards are free and available through either the county council or city council websites. Sign up for a b_line card.
The b_line card is a cut-price travel discount and library card for those aged 11 to 19. It is for young people in school, college, on a training course or in an apprenticeship.

Our trading standards team is warning residents not to respond if they receive a letter with the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) logo offering compensation to anyone who has been a victim of scams.
Derbyshire residents have been in touch about the nationwide scam, which often targets previous scam victims.
The bogus letter tells people to fill in a 'creditors debt form', as part of a compensation scheme, but it’s a way of fraudsters getting personal/bank details. If you receive one contact National Consumer Advice helpline on 0808 223 1133.

Have you recently reported any anti-social behaviour to Derbyshire police?
The force is relaunching its survey for any victims of anti-social behaviour (ASB) who have reported it to them in the past 12 months.
Your responses will help local police improve their approach in the future and understand what’s working well to support victims.
If you are a victim of anti-social behaviour in Derbyshire you can get support from Derbyshire Victim Services.
And you can visit Derbyshire ASB Hub to find out how ASB is tackled by police and other organisations throughout the county.

It’s Recycle Week from 16 – 22 October and the campaign has now clocked up two decades.
This year the challenge is to recycle more of the right things, more often and to hunt out items in the home that can be recycled but are often missed. Things like empty aerosols, food tins, plastic cleaning and toiletry bottles, pots, tubs and trays.
And as the UK keeps on its journey to Net Zero there are new opportunities for recycling being added all the time. Are you keeping up! Did you know for example that toothpaste tubes can now be recycled at retailers like Boots where you get advantage points as a thank you. Check to see what your favourite retailers accept and you might be rewarded for it too!
