Bus Travel
For pupils who require to use a bus service, KCC has launched two new Travel Schemes replacing the current Young Persons Travel Pass and Kent 16+ Travel Card.
The KCC Travel Saver is available to children in secondary school education and offers the same benefits as the current Young Persons scheme enabling parents the opportunity to halve the costs of bus travel rather than buying a ticket direct from operators.
The schemes represent a subsidy from KCC to parents of around £10m each year and means that KCC continues to support parents with the costs of bus travel more than any other Council in the UK outside of London. A feature of the new scheme is the ability for parents to pay for the pass through a series of instalments, spreading the cost across 8 months.
When can the pass be used?
The pass offers unlimited bus travel between 6am and 7pm, Monday to Friday.
