Metrolink fares frozen

Metrolink fares have been frozen until August 2015.

Tickets will not go up until 2016 for passengers who use the new 'Get Me There' smart ticket, which is set to be introduced next year.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) decided against price rises, which are usually implemented in January, as part of its annual fare review,

TfGM chairman Andrew Fender said: "We have taken the decision to freeze fares for as long as possible, which means there will be no price rises on paper products until August next year and no price rises through to 2016 for those people who adopt 'Get Me There', once it becomes available."
