Great news for young adults – Katch launches affordable travel scheme for under-21s

In a move set to empower young people across the region, Katch has unveiled an exciting new initiative aimed at making travel easier, more accessible, and affordable for those under 21. Whether you’re commuting to college, heading to work, meeting friends, or simply exploring your local area, this scheme is designed to give young adults the freedom to move with confidence—and it starts with a free journey!

Your first journey is on us

Katch’s Under-21 scheme offers young people their first journey completely free of charge. Whether you’re travelling locally or embarking on a longer trip—from Wickham Market to Ipswich, or even onwards to London—this initiative is all about breaking down barriers and making transport more accessible. It’s a small step for Katch, but a giant leap for young adults seeking greater independence and mobility.

Why this matters

Transport is more than just a way to get from A to B—it’s a lifeline. For young people, reliable travel is essential for accessing education, employment, and leisure activities. Yet, for many, the cost and availability of transport can be a significant hurdle, limiting opportunities and contributing to social isolation.

Katch recognises these challenges and is stepping up to address them. By providing affordable, on-demand travel options, the scheme not only improves accessibility but also encourages sustainable travel habits from a young age. This initiative isn’t just about getting young people where they need to go—it’s about opening doors to new experiences, fostering independence, and supporting their overall wellbeing.

How to claim your free journey

Taking advantage of this offer couldn’t be simpler. When booking your journey, just mention the Under-21 scheme, and your first trip will be free. To ensure the scheme is used fairly, you may be asked to provide proof of age when boarding. Accepted forms of ID include:

• College or sixth form lanyard
• Driver’s licence
• Railcard or student ID
