Quoted from this page:

  • 今日は忙しいけど、明日は暇。
    (I'm) busy but (I'm) free tomorrow.
  • 今日は忙しいです、明日は暇です。
    (I'm) busy but (I'm) free tomorrow.

Are there any differences in the usage of けど and が other than けど being more casual?
In the above example, です is added before が but not for けど.
Does that imply that です is required for が in that scenario?

If that example was meant to show that ga and kedo works the same way, then i think you should not add 'Desu' for the 2nd sentence (although that is also valid), as it may cause some confusion.. at least for my case.

Cheers~
