This includes bringing in an annual Bee Network bus pass costing £800 and the ability for residents to spread the cost of an annual pass with a credit union, saving public transport users £5 a week.
Mayor Andy Burnham said residents will be able to apply to credit unions to spread the cost of their annual transport pass payments from December 5 with the payment system coming into use from January.
The London-style contactless payment system is set to come in on either March 16 or 23.
Mr Burnham said: "This is critical for growth for our region, if we don't have a transport system that lets people get out and about everyday, then you don't really have a vehicle for growth."
