We're giving free travel to military personnel, veterans and cadets this weekend says Bee Network
Military personnel, veterans and cadets can travel for free across Greater Manchester this weekend.
Transport for Greater Manchester said: “Armed Forces Day is a chance for people to show their support for the those who serve, or have served, and their families - who make up the Armed Forces community - and marks the culmination of a week of celebrations.”
That’s why they are giving free travel on all Bee Network bus and tram services on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 June for:
- Members of the Regular and Reserve Services carrying their MOD90 card
- Veterans who carry their Veterans’ badge or Veterans' rail card
- Cadets travelling in uniform
Danny Vaughan, Chief Network Officer at Transport for Greater Manchester, said: “The Armed Forces community makes an invaluable contribution to our society, and we’re showing our appreciation with free travel on Bee Network buses and trams across Greater Manchester this weekend.”
Adding: “It’s a special weekend and one we’re proud to get behind as part of our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant - a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly.”
