Applying for concessionary bus travel in England

What support might be available?

Older residents and qualifying disabled people can use separate concessionary bus pass application routes. Local authorities administer applications.

How to get started

Check the relevant route based on age or qualifying disability and use the official postcode service to reach your council. Prepare identity and eligibility evidence if requested.

Important to know

A bus pass is not a cash grant and does not necessarily cover every transport service.
