Community Connect Scheme – Children and Young People
Community Connect Scheme – Concessions for Children and Young People
The government announced changes to funding for public transport fares for children and young people from 1 May 2024.
After 1 May 2024, infants 0-4 years old travel free on all BusLink and CityLink services.
CityLink will go back to flat fares:
- Infants 0 to 4 years old – FREE
- Children 5 to 18 years (school uniform) – $1
- Adult 18 years and over – $2
BusLink fares vary across the region, depending on the route. Check your route on the home page
BusLink services, with the exception of CityLink, are cash-only at present, so you do not need a special travel card.
