SEND travel and transport discounts

Railcards and Citizien Cards are passes available to young people which may entitle them to discounted travel.

16 to 25 Railcards give people aged between 16 and 25 one-third off most off-peak rail fares. For all journeys made between 4:30am and 10am on a Monday to Friday, a minimum fare of £12 is payable.

The 16 to 17 Saver gives 16 and 17-year-olds 50% off most rail fares every day of the year with no time restrictions and no minimum fare. There are some tickets and routes where the 16 to 17 Saver cannot be used.

Buckinghamshire young people aged 16 and 17 can get discounted bus travel with a Yoti CitizenCard. This proof of age card allows you to travel on some buses within Buckinghamshire for a reduced single fare.

The Yoti CitizenCard is a proof of age card and is available via Buckinghamshire schools and colleges, or from CitizenCard.

The card is only valid for journeys after 9 am on weekdays and all day at weekends and on bank holidays.

This option would not be suitable for journeys to schools or educational settings as the card is not valid for use until after the school day starts.

Most bus and rail services in the local area have special rates for students. You should contact the travel operator for more details.

Other transport providers may offer discount schemes. Please contact them directly for details.
