Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme

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, your child must have a National Entitlement Card (NEC) or a Young Scot NEC which has to be scanned each time they board a bus.

PLEASE NOTE THAT AN EXISTING YOUNG SCOT CARD WILL NOT WORK AND THEY 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 apply for a new card, please click here.

For anyone aged under 16 years of age, the parent/guardian must apply.

Kind regards

Mr Kerr
