Borders Buses

Under 22 and travelling for free? Don’t forget your NEC.

We’re seeing an increase in young people travelling on our buses without their National Entitlement Card (NEC).

We know it’s easy to think, “the bus is free anyway” – but there’s an important bit behind the scenes.

Free bus travel for under 22s is funded by the Scottish Government. When a valid NEC is presented, the journey is recorded and we are reimbursed for providing that travel. If a card isn’t presented, we don’t receive payment for the journey.

So, a quick ask to parents and young people: please make sure you have a valid NEC with you and present it when you board.

If you don’t have a valid card, you’ll need to pay the normal fare.

What do our drivers enjoy most about the job? Great views, plenty of banter and colleagues described as everything from “legends” to “fantastic”! 🚌

In our latest Hot Seat, the team share some of their favourite views from the road, settle the tea or coffee debate and offer their advice to anyone thinking about becoming a bus driver:

“Go for it. Don’t look back.”

If you enjoy driving and are looking for a secure job with good people and good banter, this could be the career for you.

🚌 Meet Ely

Before joining us, Ely worked as an admin assistant and was looking for a change of direction.

Almost a year into life behind the wheel, she talks about what she enjoys about the job, including the independence it gives her and the flexibility and support that help her balance work with family life.

Her 11-year-old son is also a big fan of her career change. He loves buses and thinks seeing his mum behind the wheel is a dream! 💙
A Good Job. Good People. Good Banter.

💙 Supporting Berwick & District Cancer Support Group

We’re proud to be supporting Berwick & District Cancer Support Group, a fantastic local charity helping people across the area at a time when they need it most.

Run entirely by volunteers and funded through public donations, the charity provides free transport for people travelling to cancer-related appointments and treatment, as well as additional wellbeing support through its Butterfly Touch initiative.

You might spot some of our Borders Buses team with collection buckets over the coming weeks, so if you’re able to donate, every contribution will help support the brilliant work they do in our local community. 💙

Back to school is nearly here🎒🚌

If you’re getting ready for the new term, now’s a good time to make sure Young Scot/NEC cards are up to date and ready to use.

And for everyday journey planning, the Borders Buses app can help you check times and track your bus while you’re on the go!

A little prep now can make those first mornings back that bit smoother. 💙

Banter, brilliant views and some very strong opinions on tea versus coffee… ☕🚌

We put another group of colleagues in the Hot Seat to find out what they enjoy about the job, how they’d describe their team and what advice they’d give someone thinking about joining us.

The verdict? If you enjoy driving, don’t look back — just go for it.
