Currently, sixth-form and college students aged 16 to 18 can apply for a discounted bus pass, at the cost of £205 for a year. It is free for students whose families are on low incomes. If the subsidy is withdrawn, these students will have to pay more than £400 a year for their bus pass. As Norfolk is a predominantly rural area, this will cause hardship to students who need to travel several miles to reach their sixth form or college.
One college principal branded the proposal by Norfolk County Council to scrap post-16 transport subsidies, including for special needs students, as "bordering on the perverse".
