大曼彻斯特市市长Andy Burnham已启动一项计划,向住在临时住所的多达8 000名儿童提供免费校车通行证,并提供免费的Bee Network往返学校的旅行,不论距离多远。 Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has launched a plan to provide free school bus passes to up to 8,000 children in temporary housing, offering free Bee Network travel to and from school regardless of distance. 这项计划由市长办公室资助,并得到八名议员和慈善机构的支持,旨在减轻无家可归家庭的交通负担,其中许多家庭面临长途通勤,必须在费用与留在学校和支助网络附近之间作出选择。 The initiative, funded by the mayor’s office and backed by eight MPs and charities, aims to ease transportation burdens for homeless families, many of whom face long commutes and must choose between costs and staying near schools and support networks. 该方案将推翻目前政府限制那些离学校两英里以上的人自由旅行的规则,预计今年晚些时候将执行。 The program will override the current government rule limiting free travel to those living more than two miles from school, with implementation expected later this year.
