From 31st January 2022, young people aged 5–21 can benefit from free bus travel on registered bus services across Scotland using the National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot branded NEC.
Applications are accepted online at getyournec.scot and through Dundee primary and secondary schools.
Children under 16 years old will need their parent/guardian to apply on their behalf and provide approval for free bus travel to be enabled on their child's card.
Young people who are currently aged 16 or over and already have an active NEC or Young Scot NEC can add free bus travel to their existing cards using the Transport Scot Pass Collect app.
Instructions of how to download and use the app are available on the Transport Scotland website.
Children under 5 years old can already travel on buses for free. They will not need to apply for a card. The same would apply for young people under the age of 11 who do not have a parental approval to be part of the scheme to use a free bus travel.
More information about the scheme and how to apply can be found at freebus.scot.
