A scheme offering free, off-peak travel for children and young people in Leicestershire runs until Sunday.

Youngsters can travel for free, Monday to Friday, 9.30 am to 11 pm, and all day at weekends.

Eligibility is for children and young people under 16 who can travel by bus for free with participating operators.

Operators will be applying their prevailing young person age criteria, but you will need to check local bus operators for age restrictions.

Proof of eligibility will also be required. Users will be expected to travel with their school or college ID to demonstrate eligibility if asked.

The types of journey included are single journeys - and return journeys, where applicable - where a passenger boards in Leicestershire. Tap in, tap off will be excluded.

You should check participating bus operators for further details on your specific journey.
