Free Bus Rides for Kids This August | Leicester News

Starting August 1st, kids under 16 across the UK ride buses for free — a sweet summer government perk designed to help families save cash and enjoy the break. From age 5 to 15, this August-only deal covers local bus rides and pairs with other savings like reduced VAT on meals and attractions. Officials say it’s a direct response to rising costs, aiming to make everyday family fun more affordable and accessible. Tourism groups are thrilled — calling it a stress-free, eco-friendly way to explore England’s coast, countryside, and cities — while local businesses welcome the potential boost.
