Bus ban for under-15's
First Bus are banning under-15's from travelling without an adult after 6pm.
Stoke-on-Trent bus operator, First Bus is banning under-15's from travelling without an adult after 6pm on a number of routes.
It's due to problems with anti-social behaviour - and is a decision that's been made following discussions with Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Staffordshire Police.
It comes during a period of free travel being offered to under-15's during the month of August.
Regional Director for the East & Midlands at First Bus, Simon Mathieson, tells the BBC's Paula White how this will work - and for how long.
D&G Bus have also confirmed a similar restriction from Saturday 22nd August.
