FULL-TIME students aged 16 and 17 can get free bus and tram travel from Friday.

London teenagers can apply for an Oyster 16 to 17-year-old photocard and claim free travel.

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

Forms 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 DLR. Visit tfl.gov.uk
