INVERCLYDE MSP Stuart McMillan is encouraging young people in Inverclyde to sign up to a free bus travel scheme.

Residents aged five to 21 can now apply for a National Entitlement or Young Scot card which allows access.

The SNP politician says the move will help facilitate essential journeys during the pandemic.

Mr McMillan added: "Young people in Inverclyde are rightly challenging politicians to take bold actions to create a sustainable future for them and free bus travel is an example of what can be done to rise to this challenge."
