  • Arriva £1 day bus tickets code

    Arriva £1 day bus tickets code

    Book via free app until 9 Jul. Gets unlimited travel in one region

    Bus group Arriva is offering £1 day tickets on its regional bus network until Sun 9 Jul, via its free 'm-ticket' app for iPhones or Android devices.

    Your £1 ticket will be a mobile ticket, so you pay within the app and show your ticket on your smartphone to the driver (see how to purchase the offer below). An adult mobile day ticket normally costs £2-£7.80 depending on which region you're in, so you can make a decent saving.

    Arriva buses run in the North East, North West and South East of England, the Midlands, Yorkshire and Wales. The offer's not available on the red buses Arriva runs for Transport for London.

    How do I get the £1 ticket?

    • Download the free 'Arriva m-ticket' app for iPhone or Android and register.
    • Go to the 'Buy Tickets' menu and select the region and zone you want to travel in.
    • Choose the 'Catch the Bus Week' day ticket and enter the code CTBW.
    • When you're ready to use the ticket on any one day until Sun 9 Jul, click 'Activate' (only on the day you want to travel) and then show your phone to the bus driver.

    The £1 ticket gives you unlimited travel on the day it's activated, but you can only use it in the region you selected when buying the ticket. You can get this offer once per smartphone, so you'll only be able to get this deal on one day.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? Ask:

  • Will I use it?
  • Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!


There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.

What the * means above

If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.

You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
