Abstract
⺠Young people aged 12-18 in London have had free bus travel since 2005/6. ⺠This removes any financial incentive to walk, but also generates additional trips. ⺠Transport poverty is not a significant issue for young people in London. ⺠Buses provide a key site for sociability and public engagement in the city. ⺠Our findings problematise the assumption that bus travel is a 'passive' mode.
