The Transport for London 16-17 Photocard scheme has just been relaunched.
The card offers 16 and 17 year olds half price travel on Tube, Bus, Tram, DLR services and the purchase of child rate 7 day or monthly Travelcards. However those in FULL TIME EDUCATION now also have an entitlement to FREE Bus and Tram travel.
Application forms are available from schools and Post Offices in Greater London. For the free travel entitlement, the form must be endorsed by the school/college.
What is not widely known yet is that the free travel entitlement for full time students will last until the end of student's course, even after they become 18.
More information at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tickets/2006/photocards/under1617.asp
So with this plus the existing free bus and tram travel for all under 16s in London, they've never had it so good!!!!
