Working in partnership with the government, we have launched a discounted bus travel scheme to help young people travel around the local area more cheaply. If you are a young Central Bedfordshire resident aged under 19 you can now apply for a YP Card. This will allow you to pay a maximum £1 single fare on any single bus journey within Central Bedfordshire and to some nearby towns and cities, as long as your journey is direct and starts or finishes in Central Bedfordshire.

The YP Card is available for all young residents of Central Bedfordshire aged 18 and under and can be used to make as many journeys as you like at the discounted £1 maximum single fare!

The YP Card may also entitle you to other travel discounts in the future.

There are two types of YP Card:

• if you’re under 16: a green YP Card, up to your 16th birthday
• if you’re 16 or over: an orange YP Card for up to your 19th birthday
