The Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme, which offers free bus travel for young people aged between 5 – 21, will begin on Monday 31 January 2022 and applications are now open!
Young people will be able to access the scheme using a National Entitlement Card (NEC) or ‘Young Scot’ branded NEC card.
IMPORTANT: Please note all young people will need to apply for a new NEC card, even if they already have one, to ensure they are registered to access the free bus travel.
All young people aged 5 – 15 will require parent/carer approval. Applications must be completed by the parent/carer on the young person’s behalf. Young people aged 16 and over can apply for their own. The following link will take you to the website for applications
