Free Bus Travel for Under 25s

In this video, Andy McDonald discusses the Labour Party's policy to provide free bus travel for everyone under the age of 25. The decline in bus trips by young people and the loss of bus routes due to private operators are highlighted as issues that need to be addressed.

Labour's Policy

• Labour will fund every local authority to offer free bus travel for under 25s.

• This policy will be funded by using a percentage of the vehicle excise duty.

• Young people could save up to £1000 a year in bus fares.

• Publicly controlled and publicly owned transport services are better run, more efficient, and more effective than privately owned ones.

Benefits of Free Bus Travel

• This policy will make a real difference to young people who tend to be lower paid in insecure work and spend a high proportion of their income on travel.

• Getting the bus reduces road congestion, cuts down on pollution, and helps us lead more active lives.

Overall, this video highlights how providing free bus travel for under 25s can benefit young people while also improving public transportation services.
