In Hertfordshire, children aged under 11 can get a 50% discount on standard single and return fares. Children aged 11 or older pay the standard adult fare unless they hold a
Hertfordshire Savercard. These same conditions apply on journeys which start or finish in Hertfordshire, but involve travel into neighbouring counties such as Bedfordshire or Buckinghamshire.
In Bedfordshire, children aged under 14 get about a third off the price of standard single and return fares. We recommend you get a
citizencard to prove your age to the driver. From the age of 14 upwards, children and students pay the standard adult fare. However, if you are in full time education, please do enquire about "Luton Student Saver" (see below).
