Children to get free bus travel in England throughout August – here’s what to know

Children aged five to 15 in England can now travel for free on most local buses throughout August. This initiative is part of the Government's Great British Summer Savings scheme, which has been implemented to alleviate financial pressures and cost-of-living challenges faced by families during the school summer holidays. The programme ensures that eligible young passengers can utilise local bus services across the country without cost for the entire duration of the month.
