If you mean a free bus pass for a young person, Edinburgh says children and young people aged 5 to 21 should apply for a National Entitlement Card (NEC) rather than a school transport bus pass. You can apply online or, if you can’t do that, visit a library with the completed form and the right ID.
| What you want to apply for | How to apply | Useful details |
|---|---|---|
| Young person’s free bus travel | apply for or find out about your NEC | For ages 5 to 21 living in Scotland |
| Over 60s bus pass | apply for your NEC | You cannot apply earlier than 14 days before your 60th birthday |
| Disabled bus pass | apply for your NEC | You can apply for a new disabled bus pass online |
| Other bus passes | Email one-edinburgh@edinburgh.gov.uk | Edinburgh says all other bus passes should be requested by email |
If you’re asking about school transport, Edinburgh says public bus passes are no longer issued under school transport for eligible pupils; instead, families should use the NEC card.
