London bus travel to be cut to half price for thousands of people and you can apply to TfL online
Sadiq Khan has announced that young care leavers who live in London will be able to apply to receive half price bus and tram travel from early 2024. The concession will apply to those aged between 18 and 25, and is designed to ensure that a helping hand is provided during a "crucial period" in their lives. People will be able to apply online via the TfL website and an application fee would apply.
