Poppy lives in St Andrews during term time and uses the bus network to get to and from classes, as well as making the 50-mile round trip home to Kirkcaldy on a regular basis.

She also volunteers with a number of organisations, including the Scouts, Young Scot and Scottish Action for Mental Health, in locations across Scotland.

Poppy estimated she would spend at least £25 per week on bus travel without the pass.

“Having the card means I don’t have to decide what I can and can’t do,” she said.

“For work, because I only teach for two or three hours at a time, it’s not feasible to commute there and earn a wage, I’d have to spend most of it getting there and back.

“It’s the same with going to see friends, I can just go and not have to worry about the cost for them or for myself, we can just make the most of it.”
