My friend travels for free on the bus, how do I apply for a zero fare pass
Your Local Education Authority (LEA) decides on your eligibility for free transport to and from school. Give them a call for more help.
More about free school transport
I have a form from the LEA (‘Application for help with travelling expenses’) and a form from Metro ('Secondary School Application Form'). Which do I fill out?
If you qualify for free travel, only return the 'Application for help with travelling expenses' to the Local Education Authority for your Zero Fare pass. You DO NOT have to return the ‘Secondary School Application Form’.
If you do not qualify for free travel please complete the ‘Secondary School Application Form’ and return to Metro, Education Transport, Wellington House, 40-50 Wellington Street, LS1 2DE.
Where do I go if I've lost my forms?
If you have lost your application for free travel, please contact your Local Education Authority. LEA contact details.
If you have lost your application for a place on a dedicated school service go to the Passes and Permits section where you can download a new form. Alternatively, please ring our hotline on 0113 348 1122.
