Paying for your travel Payment for all transport is required in advance of making your journey either by purchasing a daily ticket or by using the many discounted travel schemes provided by travel companies. Local travel companies have a range of different schemes, for example Stagecoach and Arriva operate various ticket schemes. Stagecoach offers a range of College tickets, including some for the number of days per week you are timetabled to attend College.
