How about encouraging young people to use, become confident with and

What happened to parents paying their childrens' way, then?

Dunno Taxes went up? Or didn't go up enough? [or both]



Or, in
teenagers' cases, a paper round or Saturday job?

I'd be quite surprised if there were enough newspaper rounds to pay for
all 11-16 years old to provide themselves with enough bus fares.
