DISCOUNTED bus travel for youngsters is set to rise this month.
MiCard, a scheme for five to 18-year-olds on journeys starting and ending in Barnsley, or between Barnsley and other parts of South Yorkshire, will go from costing 40p to 50p on Sunday, May 24.
Transport chiefs also gave the green light for a further hike to the MiCard fare, from 50p to 60p per journey, planned for April 1, 2016.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
