FULL-TIME students aged 16 and 17 can claim free bus and tram travel from next month.

London teenagers can apply for a 16 to 17-year-old Oyster photocard and claim free travel from September 1.

Application forms need to be authorised by a school or college.

They are available from post offices and some schools and colleges.

The Transport for London Oyster photocard also allows 16 and 17-year-olds to travel at half the adult fare on the Tube and Docklands Light Railway.
