Free Bus Rides for Teens in East Midlands | Nottingham News

Teenagers aged sixteen to eighteen in the East Midlands are getting free bus rides this August — a major boost from Mayor Claire Ward to help them work, study, or hang out without worrying about fares. Building on existing free travel for kids up to fifteen, this new scheme covers Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire, with twenty bus operators on board. Teens like Bailey, fresh out of A-levels, say it’s a game-changer — no more begging parents or stressing over cash. Just show ID or grab a special card, and hop on. It’s about independence, opportunity, and maybe even planting a lifelong habit of using public transport. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
