Though Scotland offers free travel for under-22s, the pass system has a catch: younger kids’ passes expire the day before their 12th birthday, while older teens need a separate Young Scot card. The mom, unaware of the change, felt the driver’s response was harsh, especially since the girl was just trying to get to school. Lothian Buses is now investigating and reaching out to the family, pledging to improve how they handle such situations—especially with young passengers.
