The Coleg Gwent Bus Pass Scheme

Getting to college could cost less than you think! With the Coleg Gwent Bus Pass Scheme, you may be able to get discounted bus travel to and from college, with children’s travel rates during the evenings, weekends and holidays (excluding summer holidays). Your pass is only valid alongside a My Travel Pass (see below).

Joining the scheme is simple, depending on where you live:

  • Apply to your local authority (LA) for bus pass support (contact details below). If you’re approved, you’ll need to pay your first termly fee at enrolment
  • Apply for a My Travel Pass (16-21)

Collect your termly bus pass from Learner Services and pay your discounted fee on the bus.
