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 for a My Travel Pass (16-21)
Collect your termly bus pass from Learner Services and pay your discounted fee on the bus.
