My son is 16 and at college and it's costing him/us over £100 per month.
As I earn and my wife is a part time worker he has been rejected for a full pass.
Though I thought there was something known as a 'Student pass' available for anyone of his age at college?
Also he tells me that the local bus company Ariva doesn't accept student passes anyway.
Is any of this right?
Off out now, thank you.

You want stw to research your local bus company to see whether you can save money, but you're off out? 🙄

Cheers for the link.
That'll save £5 a week in bus fares.
Train isn't an option.
Wouldn't cycle it myself. All dual carriageway then the A5, and it would be dark. I know ten people have been killed on that route since they put the bypass in. It was closed today and once last week because of ice related accidents.

Off out to work BTW
