From 31 January 2022, if you are under 22 you can get free bus travel across Scotland. If you already have a National Entitlement Card or Young Scot National Entitlement Card (issued before 10 January 2022), you must apply for a new or replacement card to travel by bus for free.

If you are 16, 17 or 18 (or aged 19 to 25 and a full time volunteer) you can also get cheaper transport on trains and ferries with your Young Scot NEC Card.

Young Scot cardholders can use their Young Scot card to verify their details to obtain a digital identity with Yoti.  Yoti is a mobile app which is used as a secure and easy way for citizens to verify their details to obtain a reusable digital identity.  In the absence of a passport or driving licence, the PASS accredited Young Scot card provides young people with a valuable and vital route to obtain a digital identity and prove who they are with many organisations online and in person.
