Contactless on bus and tram £60 penalty fare

You must tap in at a smart reader or buy a ticket for every journey you make on bus and tram in Greater Manchester.

If you fail to do this, you are liable for a penalty fare and we only consider an appeal in exceptional circumstances. You can find a guide to appealing a contactless penalty fare below.

For journeys made on tram, an incomplete journey charge applies if you tapped in at the start of your journey but didn't tap out when your journey was complete.
