School bus travel to be extended
Published:  15 April, 2007

More pupils from low income homes in England are to be offered free buses to school to stop transport costs pricing them out of popular schools.

Some 135,000 more secondary pupils will be offered free travel to schools two to six miles away, ministers say - 15 miles in the case of faith schools. It is hoped the move will widen choice for parents put off more distant schools by the extra travel costs.
