Buy a vacant seat on a school coach
If your child doesn’t qualify for free school transport, you may be able to pay for their seat.
We can offer this if:
- there is space on one of our existing routes
- they don’t already get free school transport on another route
- there is no public transport route they could use
Check if you already qualify for free school transport
