Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme

All under 22s resident in Scotland will have access to free bus travel from 31 January 2022. Those eligible will receive access to the Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme using their National Entitlement Card, allowing them to travel for free on buses across Scotland.

However, children under the age of 16 MUST have approval from their parent or guardian before free travel is added to their card. As a parent/guardian, you are giving approval by signing Declaration Part B of this form. You can find out more information online at http://www.transport.gov.scot/.

 

It’s likely that Secondary pupils who attend a Skills for Work Course will be expected to use their free travel pass in the future, so we would urge you to apply, if you have not already done so.

 

Application forms can be found at the following links:

 

Form for NEW Junior NEC applications (5-10years) – Junior National Entitlement Card Application – Introduction – Self (shetland.gov.uk)

 

Form for 11-15 year olds. This form is for NEW applications, including photo updates.  Do not use this form to get a replacement Young Scot card. Young Scot National Entitlement Card Application – Introduction – Self (shetland.gov.uk)
