Anyone know if there is a MetroMaster day ticket that is available to purchase at all, for local bus travel in South and West Yorkshire? I know there is a monthly version available of the MetroMaster but is there a day ticket available too, a little like the SY DayTripper ticket?

No, if travelling into W.Yorks nearest option would be to get a DayTripper, then pay from the W.Yorks border onwards or to pre purchase a Metro pass for onward use. |

No, just a monthly ticket available. Quite pricey on paper, but when compared to the price of the SY version (ok, this is valid on the trams and trains too) it does seem like good value for money if you are having to commute say between Barnsley and Leeds each weekday.
If you are wanting to use the bus, you are best off using which ever ticket you usually do up to the county boundary and then either purchasing an operator specific ticket or the MetroDay ticket, which like the SY DayTripper is sold and valid on most buses within West Yorkshire. The MetroDay costs £5 and is valid for purchase at any time. Only valid on local buses within West Yorkshire though.

WY "Bus and Train" and "Train Only" day passes are sold at Meadowhall and Barnsley (but not, as far as I know, at Sheffield). Still only valid to/from the boundary (Darton, Moorthorpe, etc).

Thanks for the info guys. Will probably end up been the Bus and Train pass then for West Yorkshire. Lv426, when you say this is available from either the Barnsley or Meadowhall TIC, what is this ticket called or should I just state to them what I am wanting to use it for? Surprised that SYPTE sell a ticket for whole travel within West Yorkshire though.

If they are sold at the railway-operated ticket windows the they should be available at all railway stations. |

Can the monthly MetroMaster ticket still be purchased in South Yorkshire? If so, from where? PayPoint?
