Half price East Yorkshire bus fares for young people
The scheme was introduced last summer, with the council working in partnership with local bus companies to help young people get around for less.The discount is funded by the council through the government's bus service improvement plan programme.Coultish said: "Last year's discount scheme proved popular and so we have brought it back for 2025 to benefit young passengers.He added: "Thank you to local bus operators for supporting this scheme."Due to the national bus fare cap, all passengers can travel on buses for £3 for a single journey until the end of March 2027.To qualify for the reduced fares for 16 to 19-year-olds, a bus journey must be wholly within the East Riding or start or finish in the county.If travelling outside the East Riding, passengers must purchase a return ticket on their journey from the East Riding to receive the offer for their return journey. The offer is available on services provided by East Yorkshire Buses and Stagecoach Hull.Passengers will need to provide proof of age.

Trump's visit prompts political posturing and diplomatic duty
I t is doubtless Scotland's misfortune that the keenest presidential golfer since Gerald Ford is also an American president whose golfing interests extend to owning resorts in the land that gave the game to the world. If it weren't for golf, President Trump would not be visiting Scotland this weekend, or spending as many as four days here. But this is also the land of his mother and although Trump's visit is notionally a private one — to open a new course at his Aberdeenshire property — there is, in truth, no such thing when Air Force One comes to town. When the president of the United States demands a meeting, everyone's diaries are cleared. If that means extra duties for most of the police officers in Scotland, so be it.
