Young Persons' Free Bus Travel (Scotland, under 22)

Young Persons' (Under 22s) Free Bus Travel Scheme (Scotland)

Paid by Scottish Government / Transport Scotland · 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

What this pays

The published value, how it is calculated, and whether it is cash or a credit ceiling.

Email and a six-digit code, then €50 a year. No password to forget.

The 5 published rules this programme tests you against — age, income, residency, household and the rest.

The steps, documents and official link are part of the paid plan. Checking how much you're owed stays free.

Exactly what to gather before you start, so nothing sends you back to the beginning.

Young people aged 5 to 21 who live in Scotland can get a free bus pass.
