Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme
An update to free travel:
From the 31st January, Transport Scotland are introducing free bus travel to everyone in Scotland aged from 5-21 years of age. To receive free travel, you must have a National Entitlement Card (NEC) or a Young Scot NEC which has to be scanned each time you board a bus.
PLEASE NOTE THAT AN EXISTING YOUNG SCOT CARD WILL NOT WORK AND YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A NEW CARD.
Anyone who does not have a new style card will not be eligible for free travel and will have to pay the normal fare.
To get your new card, please go to getyournec.scot and apply for your new card.
For anyone aged under 16 years of age, the parent/guardian must apply. #TransportScotland
Please note: this is for public transport and not school transport.
