Council support for young people without special educational needs or disabilities

Please note that there are no free bus passes available for learners aged 16-19 through the city council. However, a flexi-ticket bus ticket is available to purchase for Leicester resident pupils over statutory school age if the student is aged 16, 17 or 18 at the start of the college year.

The pass allows travel on multiple bus companies to get to school/college. Details of the pass are available on the Choose How you Move website.

There are alternatives to the flexi-ticket. If you only need to use a bus from one operator, you could get better value in terms of price and flexibility by purchasing a season ticket directly from a commercial bus operator.

Before you apply for any bus pass or ticket, we strongly urge you to consider all the commercially available alternatives.
