FREE MCard – Reduce the cost of your journeys

MCard gives virtually unlimited travel on buses and/or trains in West Yorkshire. You can travel as often as you like, any time of day, any day of the week.

As a resident at Silkwood Gate you (or a member of the household) are entitled to a FREE annual MCard (zones 1-3). The face value of one of these tickets is £1,117 …. meaning you could be saving a significant amount of cash.

Further information on MCards and how one may be of benefit to you can be found on the West Yorkshire Metro website.

What about after the first year – how much will my MCard cost me?

• A minimum 25% discount on a rail and bus MetroCard is available in year 2;
