About this opportunity

Transport Scotland want to hear how the Young Persons’ Free Bus Travel Scheme has impacted you and your experiences using it before you turned 22.


Join Young Scot staff at one of four focus groups to tell us your views and experiences. We want to hear about your travel choices, how the scheme affected you personally and whether it changed your travel habits.


You’ll receive a £20 Love2Shop voucher for taking part and we can cover local travel expenses too.

Get Involved

We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to help you take part based on your needs. All young people are welcome at Young Scot including those with disabilities, neurodiversity, queer young people and ethnic minorities.


We’re keen to collaborate with young people who can sometimes have more barriers to taking part in opportunities due to their personal circumstances. This includes ethnic minorities, disabled young people, young carers, care-experienced young people and young people who live in low-income households.

The application form is also available as a word document and we also accept verbal applications made using video or voice recordings. If you need any support with signing up, please contact us at YSHive@young.scot and we’ll be happy to help.

Sign-ups close midnight on Sunday 18th May.

Next Steps

Once you complete the form, we will be in touch with you via email with more information about the focus group.
