Pop cards now at Go North East

Go North East now accepts the Pop Pay as You Go payment card on its buses right across the region. The card is a way of paying for public transport and allows customers to use just one card to pay for bus, ferry and Metro travel. The Go-Ahead owned operator is the first major bus operator in the region to roll the Pop card scheme out across the whole of the north east region. It is already in use on the Metro, the Shields Ferry and some other local bus routes. Go North East has worked in partnership with The North East Smart Ticketing Initiative (NESTI), a partnership of local authorities and transport operators, to bring the Pop Pay as You Go to its passengers.
