It means from 9.30am to 11pm Mondays to Fridays and all day at
weekends and bank holidays. If you travel before 9.30am Mondays to
Fridays you will be charged the full adult fare. If you have a pass
because you are blind or partially sighted you can use it at any
time, as long as your journey starts or finishes in Peterborough
and Cambridgeshire. If you use it outside of Peterborough and
Cambridgeshire, you will only be able to use it from 9.30am to 11pm
Mondays to Fridays and all day at weekends and bank holidays.
