Great to see this superb initiative on free public transport for under-9s finally being implemented.

Its launch will be welcomed by all those parents who haven't paid for their children on public transport since it was first announced last October.

“This expansion will benefit almost 236,000 additional children and their families by providing free travel for under-9s, while also laying the foundations for lifelong sustainable travel habits. From an early age, children will grow accustomed to using buses, trains, and trams as a natural part of daily life. The scheme marks an important step towards a fairer, more inclusive public transport system. As the NTA continues implementing its National Fares Determination Strategy, this initiative builds on a range of measures designed to ensure that all passenger groups can benefit equally from our public transport network.”
