Travel is now easier thanks to smartcard technology

Smart ticketing for public transport continues to advance in South Yorkshire, with the launch of more tickets on ‘smartcard’ and the installation of smartcard kiosks in bus interchanges. TravelMaster seven and 28 day tickets, which offer unlimited travel on bus, tram and train in Rotherham, Sheffield and other South Yorkshire zones, are now available as smartcards. Passengers will be able to buy the tickets on an electronic, credit-card sized pass instead of using the scratch cards and paper tickets currently available.
