flag Scottish youths save hundreds yearly on buses via free travel; England lacks nationwide program.

flag Young people in Scotland are saving hundreds of pounds annually on bus travel due to a policy offering free bus travel for those under 22, resulting in over 274 million free journeys since its launch. flag In contrast, young people in England do not have access to similar nationwide free travel, with annual student bus passes costing up to £1,570 in southern England. flag The UK government rejected a proposed trial in England, citing cost, though it pledged to study Scotland’s model. flag The SNP credits the policy as part of broader cost-of-living support, while the UK government highlights its £3 billion investment in bus services and local fare flexibility.
