What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to extend eligibility for the Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme to include everyone aged 22 to 25 inclusive, using powers under the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019.
The current age limit of 21 creates an unfair cliff-edge for young people entering work, apprenticeships or higher education. Extending the scheme would reduce socio-economic disadvantage, boost workforce participation and aid net-zero targets.
