How long will my ticket be active for?

The validity of mTickets is similar to paper tickets. This means a day ticket is not valid for 24 hours, but rather the remainder of the day on which it is activated.

Following this principle, other validities are as follows:

• FirstDay – the remainder of the day the ticket is activated
• FirstWeek – the remainder of the day the ticket is activated, plus an additional 6 days
• FirstMonth – the remainder of the days the ticket is activated, plus a further number of days in the month less one. A month ticket activated on 25th May for instance, would expire on 25th June.
• First4Week – the remainder of the day the ticket is activated plus an additional 27 days

We also allow a period of grace after midnight, to allow for the last bus services of the day but please note that the expiry date (shown in words on the ticket screen) is the last full day of the ticket and does not reflect the period beyond midnight.

This is so customers do not wrongly believe they have an additional full day's travel.
