The Bee Network is warning passengers against a scam offering six-month travel cards for the price of a single ticket.

The scam claims that the deal is being offered to celebrate Transport for Greater Manchester’s “anniversary” and will provide passengers with “unlimited bus rides”.

The Bee Network said that the deal is not an official promotion and should be ignored and reported to the relevant social media platform.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, they said: “Please be aware of a new scam that is offering the chance to purchase 6 months of travel for £2.

“This is not an official BeeNetwork/TfGM promotion and should be ignored and where possible, reported to the relevant social media platform.”
