YOYP Ambassador vouchers are in addition to any vouchers an ambassador may have as part of being a Young Scot card holder.
Young Scot card allows travel with vouchers if you are aged 16 to 18; YOYP covers ages 8 to 26. Due to this, you may be issued an adult ticket ( for ages 16-26) or child ticket (for ages 8-15) for the 50% off offer.
