Eligibility for a free senior bus pass

Eligibility

From April 2026 the state pension age will be increasing to 67. This change may effect you.

You can get a free bus pass when you reach the State Pension age. Use the pension age calculator on the Gov.uk website to find out if you are eligible.

Companion bus pass

If you cannot travel alone due to a disability you could qualify for a companion bus pass. Read the free bus pass for disabled residents page for more details.
