For 16, 17 and 18 year olds

If you live in Scotland and you’re between 16 – 18 you could be saving loads of money on your travel. 

Make sure you have a Young Scot National Entitlement Card and you will be entitled to:
- A bus concessions card giving you one third off most bus fares.
- A free Scottish Youth Railcard, giving 50% off weekly or monthly tickets and up to one-third off single or return train journeys in Scotland.
- Ferry vouchers for two free return journeys to the mainland a year if you live on a Scottish island.

You don’t need to apply for your discount vouchers, as you will automatically be sent out to when you turn 16.

If you have lost your travel discount card, or need to amend your details call the Young Scot InfoLine on 0808 801 0338.
