Concessionary travel
How to apply for a concessionary travel pass for travelling on public transport, including pensioner and disability smart cards.
Eligibility
The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme offers free travel on local public transport for people of pensionable age and those with an eligible disability.
Eligibility for a pensioner smart card
The qualifying age for a concessionary bus pass is the same as the pensionable age of UK residents.
To check your date of entitlement, go to check your State Pension age – GOV.UK.
Eligibility for a disability smart card
To qualify automatically on the grounds of a disability, you must receive one of the following:
- Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMCDLA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP), where the applicant has been awarded at least eight points against either the PIP 'moving around' and/or 'communicating verbally'
- Blue Badge
- War Pensioners Mobility (WPC) Supplement
If you receive none of the above you may still be eligible to apply.
