YOUNG people in Inverclyde are being urged to make the most of the new Young Person's Free Bus Travel scheme.

Inverclyde Council is encouraging youngsters in the area to sign up and use the new initiative that allows those under 22 to travel for free on all buses across Scotland.

To access the scheme and travel for free, those eligible need to sign up for a National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot National Entitlement Card (Young Scot NEC).
