2,795,910 free bus journeys made by under 22s in Angus under SNP Government
Graeme has marked “the transformative impact of SNP policies” as new figures show 2,795,910 of bus journeys were made by under 22s in Angus since the SNP Government introduced the policy three years ago.
Earlier this week it was revealed that over 200 million free bus journeys had been made by young people across Scotland. The scheme continues to help eradicate child poverty, tackle climate change and grow the economy by providing free access to education, employment and leisure.
Through the 2025-26 Budget, the Scottish Government will provide £409 million for concessionary bus travel, providing access to free bus travel for almost 2.3 million people.
Eradicating child poverty is the number one priority of this SNP Government, and by facilitating 2,795,910 journeys for under 22s across Angus we are making progress towards this goal.

With over 200 million journeys now made across Scotland, this SNP policy is saving young people and their families significant amounts of money while creating new opportunities.
This policy has been one of the most instrumental in improving the lives of young people across Angus, supporting our bus services, our community and our climate.
This is the SNP under John Swinney delivering on Scotland’s priorities and for Angus’ young people.
