Recently, the Scottish Government rolled out a new bus scheme targeted at young people living in the country.
Young people are only able to qualify if they have a new National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot NEC, with free bus passes now being extended to 2.3 million people in Scotland.
Jenny Gilruth, the devolved Government’s minister for Transport, said: “Young people have also rightly challenged us to invest in a sustainable future for them – free bus travel for all under 22s will help to deliver that.
“The Transport Scot Pass Collect app speeds up the process for existing card holders between 16 and 21, and will enable our partners to process new applications as a priority.”
