Devon Smartrider

If you are over 16 years old and attend North Devon College or the Sixth Form at Bideford Community College or Ilfracombe Community College you could apply for a Devon Smartrider season ticket and photocard.

During the next academic year, from September 2009 to July 2010, the Smartrider Card will cost £288 for new entitled students attending the three colleges mentioned above. However for entitled students in receipt of an appropriate means tested benefit the fee could be waived.

Once you have purchased a Devon Smartrider season ticket and photocard you can receive;-

• FREE travel on any FIRST or STAGECOACH bus service after 6pm on college days and all day at weekends and during college holidays.
• DISCOUNTED travel on ALL OTHER BUSES after 6pm on college days and all day at weekends and during college holidays.

Students should apply by 1 June 2009 and pay, or provide proof of receipt of an appropriate benefit, before 10th August 2009 to ensure their card is processed in time for the beginning of term. Students who have not applied in time will have to pay daily on public service buses until they receive their card. These fares are not refundable.
