16-17 Railcard Gets Major Update | Leicester News

Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Train fares just got a major upgrade for teens: the 16-17 Saver railcard now lasts 12 months instead of expiring at 18, saving thousands of students up to $175 a year. This common-sense tweak, praised by student groups and rail ministers, aligns the card with other railcards and supports young people as they navigate education or work. It’s part of a broader push to make public transport more affordable, following moves like capping bus fares at $2 — a win for budgets and a step toward a fairer rail system.
