This August, children between the ages of 5-15 years old can travel free on bus services, thanks to the UK Government's Great British Summer Savings initiative.
From 1st August to 31st August (inclusive), families can enjoy free bus travel for children across our networks, making it easier and more affordable to get out and explore everything Cornwall have to offer.
Whether you're heading to the beach, visiting family, enjoying a day out, or discovering somewhere new, leave the car behind and let us take you there.
School holidays can be an expensive time for families, with the cost of days out adding up before you've even arrived. By removing fares for children throughout August, we're helping families save money and enjoy more time together.
So, take advantage of free travel to visit attractions, parks, shopping destinations, beaches, cinemas and museums.
Great British Summer Savings
The Government's Great British Summer Savings campaign is helping families make the most of summer.
Alongside free bus travel for children, families can also benefit from reduced VAT on selected attractions, including soft play centres, amusement parks and museums, helping make summer days out even more affordable.
