Transport is a “huge issue” for students, with some being forced to shell out hundreds of pounds on a bus pass, according to Association of Colleges president Richard Atkins.

Mr Atkins’s comments come as the association publishes a new manifesto calling for more transport rights for 16 to 18-year-olds.
