Kids Go Free is back again for the Easter school holidays.  

From tomorrow 150,000 kids, aged under 16, will be able to travel for free on buses across the West throughout the Easter holidays.  

Families can hop on buses and explore the best our region has to offer knowing they are saving money at the same time. 

Kids Go Free runs from 3rd April (Good Friday) to Sunday 19th April.   

The hugely popular, nationally unique initiative saw big increases in children and young people taking the bus over the summer and Christmas school holidays in 2025, with many places seeing the number of journeys double, compared to the same times the previous year. 

Every free journey is putting money back into families’ pockets, funded using some of the Bus Grant funding secured by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority and North Somerset Council from the Department for Transport. 

This Kids Go Free offer runs on all registered commercial and supported bus services starting in Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, with limited exemptions set out on the Travelwest website – e.g. for airport services.
