Will YOU be using free bus travel this summer holiday?
- Published
For children under 16 in England, most buses are now FREE for the month of August.
It's part of a new government scheme which is trying to help families enjoy their summer holidays by reducing the amount of money they need to spend on a day out.
The government says it means families and friends can travel to the beach, museums or national parks and maybe worry less about the cost of living.
But we want to know, will this impact your life? Do you normally use buses? Might it encourage you to take a bus? Or won't it affect you at all?

Free bus travel for children is part of a government scheme called Great British Summer Savings, where it hopes families can save money over the school holidays.
Child fares for buses normally cost between £1 and £2.
The boss of the Family Holiday Charity - Rob Parkinson - is happy about the new scheme.
He says "a family holiday or day out doesn't start when we arrive at our destination, it begins with the journey".
The buses taking part in the scheme include routes that could take people to The York Dungeon, Windsor Castle, Brighton Pier and Merrivale Model Village.
