GREATER Manchester Passenger Transport Authority has extended their concessionary fares scheme.
This will allow Bolton schoolchildren to take advantage of cheaper travel.
Following a meeting of the authority's policy committee, the decision was made to extend the scheme to all 16 to 19-year-olds in full time education.
Previously, they were only eligible if they were attending a state maintained school, but this now also includes students attending full time courses at independent schools or colleges, or taking higher education courses.
