Scotland-wide Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme for Under 22s.

As you may know, the scheme launched in January this year allowing children and young people aged 5-21 who live in Scotland to travel for free by bus with a valid National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot NEC.

Lots of young people ARE benefitting from the scheme, and in September nationwide marketing campaign was launched to increase awareness and understanding of the scheme and to encourage even more young people to apply.

The website, freebus.scot, has lots of information about free bus travel, how it works, how to apply, the benefits and some tips for travelling safely too. It also includes a section with resources for stakeholders. If you have any questions about the scheme please get in touch using the contact details on the freebus.scot website.
