Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme

From the 31st of January young people aged 5-21 will be eligible to receive free bus travel. To receive free travel, you must have a National Entitlement Card (NEC) or a Young Scot NEC which has to be scanned each time you board a bus.

PLEASE NOTE THAT AN EXISTING YOUNG SCOT CARD WILL NOT WORK AND YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A NEW CARD TO BE ELIGIBLE.

If you are over 16, you will shortly be able to apply direct for a new card.

For under 16s, the parent/guardian must apply for a replacement card via the Parents’ Portal in order to give their consent for the travel element. NB replacement NEC cards ordered direct will be sent to home addresses so pupils will need to get them activated by the school office to use in the canteen.

If you are aged between 16 and 21 and already have an active NEC or Young Scot NEC you can download your free bus travel using the Transport Scot Pass Collect app.

Active cards are those received since 2016 – they’ll have a long number next to the ITSO logo and, if there’s a date of birth shown, it will be highlighted with a pink strip. Please note, any NECs which are dedicated matriculation cards aren’t compatible with the app. Please access further information and a short video guide using the following link:
