More than half of under-22s in Scotland are missing out on free bus travel amid claims it is too difficult to apply.
The SNP / Green government introduced a bus pass for young people and children aged between 5 and 21 which began on January 31 this year. However only 42 per cent have applied for one.
Scottish Labour has accused the government of “congratulating themselves on a job half done” saying the summer would have been a “perfect time for young people to make use of their pass”.
