Pupils at five schools and colleges in Telford and Wrekin will be starting the new year with a new bus route - with journeys capped at £1.
The new council-funded route will cost only £1 per single journey, with the aim of saving families some money.
Telford & Wrekin Council's deputy leader and cabinet member for transport, Councillor Richard Overton said: “Post-Christmas we are all counting the pennies and this service not only fills a gap in provision but will save families money too. “We have been working with people who use and need the services and the new routes are based on a survey we completed last summer.
