PARENTS and carers of children in Barnsley are being asked to give their views on the MiCard scheme.

Young people are able to access free bus travel from Monday to Sunday, between 7am and 9pm, as long as the journey starts or ends in the Barnsley area and is within South Yorkshire as part of the initiative.

An anonymous survey on the scheme can be found on the council’s website.

A spokesperson said: “MiCard helps young people get to education and training, see friends and family, and take up opportunities without the cost of the bus fare getting in the way.

“We want to make sure every child and young person in Barnsley can have the best childhood and help make the greener choice the easier choice for everyday journeys.

“We’d like to hear from all parents and carers about the MiCard, whether your child already has a card or not.

“The feedback will help us understand what’s working well and what could be improved.

“The survey takes around five minutes to complete and all responses are anonymous.”
