What do you get?

  • Elderly Bus Pass
  • Disabled Bus Pass*
Based on your age or disability you can check and apply if you are entitled to a free bus pass giving free off-peak travel. *Availability based on your local authority.

'Off-peak' is between 9.30am and 11pm Monday to Friday and all day at weekends and on public holidays. Local authorities may offer further benefits to their residents, such as free travel outside off-peak times or reduced tram or rail travel. However, these will apply only for travel in the local area, not elsewhere in England.

If you are eligible by Age and your Local Authority subscribes to this e-registration service, you can register for a free bus pass directly from this site. Just enter your postcode and click "Next".

Am I Eligible?

Everyone who is eligible according to the guidelines set by the Department for Transport and Department for Work and Pensions is entitled to free off-peak local bus travel anywhere in England using a National Bus Pass.

Eligibility is no longer based on reaching the age of 60 years. The concession is now awarded in line with the pensionable age of woman, whether you are male or female.

You can check whether you are eligible by using the Direct Gov web site, simply click www.gov.uk.
