# Our Pass youth travel scheme launches in Greater Manchester

Date: 2019

## The fact

In September 2019 Greater Manchester launched Our Pass, a 16–18 concessionary travel scheme under Mayor Burnham.

## Context

TfGM administers. Colleges share. He owned the scheme. He did not sit as every bus driver.

Bee Network franchising is a neighbouring later system-level instrument.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is head of His Majesty’s Government. Parliament writes statutes; the King appoints; combined authorities and departments implement; courts can stay a scheme. A prime minister can take an oath, announce everyday consumer fixes, and sit in Cabinet. He does not write a Greater Manchester by-law by himself after leaving the mayoralty, a UN resolution, or a Supreme Court judgment.

## Evidence and sources

Transport for Greater Manchester carries the official instrument or communique. BBC records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is education access and [household purchasing power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power): a completed 16–18 travel pass is a dated reduction of the private cost of reaching college.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a September 2019 launch of Our Pass for 16–18 travel in Greater Manchester.

Not established: a unique later attainment coefficient from that Sunday, or that every 16-year-old enrolled.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

TfGM administers. Operators carry passengers.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Our Pass youth travel scheme launches in Greater Manchester, not a later speech about Our Pass youth travel scheme launches in Greater Manchester.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Our Pass youth travel scheme launches in Greater Manchester on 2019-09-01 is not a licence to treat every later Transport for Greater Manchester communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Our Pass youth travel scheme launches in Greater Manchester into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He launched the scheme as mayor. TfGM administers. Operators carry passengers. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. Parliament, the King, TfGM, GMCA boroughs, the NHS, and foreign counterparties share specific files. Allegation is not a completed judgment. A by-election is not a general election. A bus franchise is not a unique CPI coefficient. A GOV.UK profile is not a delivered poverty path.
