Free Buses for Teens in Greater Manchester | Manchester News

Starting January 2027, kids aged 11 to 16 in Greater Manchester will ride buses for free—saving families up to $500 per child a year. Building on the existing Our Pass for 17- and 18-year-olds, this expansion will benefit 200,000 more young people, boosting mobility and independence. Alongside free school transport for children in temporary housing (starting September), the Bee Network gets a major upgrade: new routes, extended services, and night buses launching August 30th. This bold move positions Greater Manchester as a national leader in youth-friendly transit, easing financial strain and empowering teens to explore opportunities without limits.
