How the council's school transport system works.

Lincolnshire County Council provides free school transport for pupils to get to their nearest designated school.

This means primary school children should get free bus or taxi journeys if their school is more than two miles away.

For secondary schools, the building must be three miles away before kids qualify for free transport.

More than 20,000 children benefit from this service in Lincolnshire.

But the rules only apply to the local designated school, or the nearest school with places available, except in some cases where children must go to a specific school for religious reasons.

Usually when parents opt to send their children to a school other than the local designated one, they are responsible for the cost of getting them there.

Where private bus operators provide commercial buses for schoolchildren, the local authority does not have any influence over how much the companies charge.
