Every child aged 5 to 15 will be able to travel ***FREE*** on participating local buses throughout August – with unlimited journeys, no pass, no app and no registration needed. It's part of a national cost-of-living boost backed by over £100m in funding and it comes as Blackpool gets its own £4m plan to improve resort bus services, including upgraded shelters, deep cleans and new real-time information screens on Talbot Road. A big win for families, for the summer holidays and for getting more people on board with public transport.
