Call for free bus passes to help under-22s into work

MPs call for free bus passes for under-22s in England to boost opportunities for work and education, as bus journeys decline and fares rise. A pilot scheme is recommended to provide free bus travel at any time for young people. The report highlights the impact of high bus fares on accessibility to jobs, education, and social activities, with proposals to address economic decline in the bus sector and make transport more affordable and reliable.
