PEOPLE who use the Metro system regularly can now use environmentally-friendly buses as part of a new package.
Metro Saver Zone One pass holders can travel on the yellow QuayLink buses for free.
Metro operator Nexus has funded the offer at a cost of £15,000.
It has been agreed by the QuayLink project partners - Stagecoach, Gateshead Council and Newcastle City Council.
Director general of Nexus Mike Parker said: "This is a fantastic offer for Metro passengers and we hope they take advantage of it.
"QuayLink is a really great way to get around the centres of Newcastle and Gateshead, both for work and for leisure purposes."
