Free Bus Pass for Teens in Greater Manchester | Manchester News

Greater Manchester is launching free bus travel for teens aged 11 to 16, saving families up to $500 per child annually and potentially benefiting 200,000 young people by January 2027. With costs estimated between $15–$20 million yearly, the initiative aims to ease financial pressure on households and give teens more freedom to explore. Funding comes from government settlement and the new national $2 fare cap, building on the existing Our Pass for 16–18-year-olds — a move parents are cheering as both practical and empowering.
