Background

Working with the Young People’s Parliament (YPP), Hull City Council, Stagecoach and East Yorkshire Buses agreed to share the cost of discounting a Hull Card for those who have not yet reached the age of 20.

The cost will be discounted by 10% by the bus companies and down to £15.80 by Hull City Council, the council’s share being provided by income from bus lane penalty charges. The name for the card chosen by the YPP is the KAT Card - Kids and Teenagers.
