The Stagecoach Supertram is a modern tram network with three lines that serve north-western (Uni of Sheffield, Hillsborough, Malin Bridge and Middlewood), south-eastern (Crystal Peaks, Hackenthorope and Halfway) and north-eastern (Attercliffe, Don Valley Stadium/Arena and Meadowhall) suburbs of the city.
The blue line runs from Malin Bridge via the city centre to the Railway Station and Halfway
The yellow line runs from Meadowhall via the city centre to Middlewood
The purple line merges the eastern end of the two other lines, running from Herdings Park to Meadowhall.
Tickets are purchased from the conductor after you board; retain these for inspection. Notices at your tram stop will indicate the route and fare needed for your destination.
A single ticket within the town centre boundary (between Granville Road, The University of Sheffield, and Hyde Park) costs £1.40. After that, fares increase to £1.70, £2.10, or £2.70 depending on how far you travel. Children under 5 travel free and those 5 to 11 or carrying a 'Megatravel' secondary school buss pass travel for 40p, irrespective of the distance travelled. Concessions are available only to applicable residents of Sheffield. Senior citizens travel for free except on weekdays before 9AM on any mode of public transport. For those without concessions, it often works out cheaper to buy a Dayrider ticket, which costs £3.00 and allows unlimited travel on all trams and Stagecoach buses in Sheffield. A £12.00 Megarider ticket is also available, allowing unlimited travel for a week.
