Free Bus Travel for 5 to 21 Year Olds
To access the scheme, young people need to apply for a new entitlement card.
5 to 10-year-olds will use a junior card which does not require a photograph and those aged 11 and over will use an updated Young Scot card – which is also a photo identity and proof of age card.
New cards can be applied for using the website below:
- ParentsPortal.Scot – This is an additional online national portal that allows parents of children aged between 5 and 10-years-old to apply for the ‘Junior’ version of the National Entitlement Card. This is the quickest way for parents to access the junior card for their children.
The usual process of delivering Young Scot cards to Primary 7s will take place in March and April 2022 and this year will include a consent process to allow access to the free travel scheme too.
