苏格兰青年每年通过免费旅行在公共汽车上节省数百人的费用;英格兰缺乏全国性的方案。 Scottish youths save hundreds yearly on buses via free travel; England lacks nationwide program.

苏格兰的年轻人每年在公共汽车旅行中节省数百英镑,因为一项政策为22岁以下者提供免费公共汽车旅行,自该政策启动以来,免费旅行次数超过2.74亿次。 Young people in Scotland are saving hundreds of pounds annually on bus travel due to a policy offering free bus travel for those under 22, resulting in over 274 million free journeys since its launch. 相形之下,英格兰的年轻人无法享受类似的全国免费旅行,英格兰南部的每年学生公共汽车票价高达1 570英镑。 In contrast, young people in England do not have access to similar nationwide free travel, with annual student bus passes costing up to £1,570 in southern England. 英国政府尽管承诺研究苏格兰的模式, 却以成本为由拒绝在英国进行拟议的审判。 The UK government rejected a proposed trial in England, citing cost, though it pledged to study Scotland’s model. SNP将这一政策列为更广泛的生活费支助的一部分,而联合王国政府则强调其对公共汽车服务和当地票价灵活性的30亿英镑投资。 The SNP credits the policy as part of broader cost-of-living support, while the UK government highlights its £3 billion investment in bus services and local fare flexibility.
