Young people aged 16-21 in Wales can now ride the bus for £1 for a single ticket or £3 for a day pass.

The scheme will later extend to five to 15-year-olds on November the 3rd.

Scottish teens already have free bus travel, while English MPs are calling for the same.

Welsh government hopes this will help young people access education, training, jobs, and fun.

Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said: "This scheme will make a real difference to young people across Wales,  and will allow them to make journeys for work, education and leisure at a discounted price.

"I would encourage those who don’t yet have a mytravelpass to apply so they can take full advantage of the scheme when it begins in September."

Full details of the scheme are available on the mytravelpass website.
