Free bus travel for care leavers initiative launched by Metro Mayor
Young people leaving care will be able to travel for free on the West of England’s buses, Dan Norris has announced at the start of Care Leavers Week.
Designed for 18- to 21-year-old young care leavers living in the region, the new West of England and North Somerset-wide bus scheme will provide free travel across the West’s 350-plus square mile network - making it one of the largest schemes of its kind in the UK.
This will allow the young people better access to work or study, getting to appointments, the shops or days out. The young people will be able to apply for a WESTpass online for their free travel. WECA free bus travel for Care Leavers ....
