Whatever anyone's politics, this seems a pretty good idea from other perspectives as well. The insurance people, by their premiums, recognise the young and old as significant risks. It makes sense then, to actively promote public transport, focussed on those age groups. Additionally, it should develop sufficient use to support a better and more extensive public transport system. This is on top of potentially freeing up cinjested road space. Yes, there is a cost, but even the present austerity centric government subsidises other deemed necessary development such as green energy.

I would like to think that this measure would be more than offset by the savings made by the reduction in accidents involving the young, a spin off benefit might be a reduction in insurance costs for everyone else. So, potentially a goodish idea.

I doubt that very much. How many teens/under 25s would be prepared to give up or not acquire their own transport if able, rather than buses?

Yet another case of "do what I say you want not what you want to do". If I was a teenager I think I would need to ask some very serious questions.

What time's the last bus home?
