The UK government has introduced a scheme that will make local bus transport free for children throughout England during the holidays. Through this scheme, the government intends to enable families to tackle rising costs and allow children to participate in a variety of activities during the summer without worrying about travel fares. The scheme will allow children to take unlimited rides on buses throughout August, beginning August 1. The service will be available on participating local buses and is expected to provide a sustainable travel option to children. This endeavour is introduced under the ‘Great British Summer Savings’ scheme and will help families save money, decreasing their financial strain.
