Eligible services
Consultation : Free bus travel for people resident in Scotland aged under 19
Eligible services
Our intention is that eligible bus services would be the same as those services eligible for the existing NCTS for those aged over 60 or with a disability. The eligible services for that scheme are bus services which operate wholly within Scotland (or a service travelling from Scotland to Berwick-upon-Tweed and Carlisle or vice versa) that are:
- a local registered service in terms of section 2 of the Transport Act 1985 or
- a scheduled bus or coach service which runs at least once a week and is available and advertised to the general public
Further details on which services are eligible in the existing scheme can be found on our website.
