London Assembly Vote to keep free bus & tram travel

Young NCB welcomes the news that free bus travel for young Londoners will not be scrapped.

A huge thanks and well done to everyone who took part in the campaign to keep free bus and tram travel for under 18’s in education. We are delighted to hear that enough MPs voted to keep it at the final budget meeting held at The London Assembly on the 14th Feb.

Thanks to everyone who took part in our online poll and gave views on whether free bus travel for young Londoners should be kept. The results of the poll showed that 97% of people of all ages who responded to the poll - nearly 500 in total – want the free transport scheme to continue.

Young NCB and NCB also collected a over 1000 signatures in favour of keeping the free travel scheme which was personally handed to the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone.
