Changing your mode of transport
Once you have received your student fare card and decide that you would like to change your mode of transport i.e. changing from a train to a bus or vise versa, you will need to write to the Student Fare Card Team, returning the original fare card that you have, together with a cover letter, a new passport photograph and a cheque or postal order for £10 made payable to Surrey County Council. This is a flat rate to cover administration costs. Once processed your new card will be sent to your school/college for collection.
