East Lancashire
Use your AnyBus smartcard to load up your ticket and use it on all buses in the valid area. The advantage is that every bus company is part of the scheme, so you can travel with any operator for the duration of your ticket instead of being restricted to only travelling with the operator which issued your ticket. You can also add your AnyBus ticket onto a Stagecoach or Transdev smartcard.
The East Lancashire scheme operates in Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn and Rossendale, as well as parts of Pendle and Ribble Valley. It also includes a limited number of services with links to Chorley, South Ribble and North Yorkshire. See the map for the area covered by the scheme.
Ask your driver for an AnyBus smartcard, buy either a day or weekly ticket and this will be uploaded to your AnyBus card. Simply present your AnyBus card to the ticket machine on the bus for travel in the valid area, with no need to pay again for the duration of the ticket.
