OVERS 60'S AND DISABLED PEOPLE NOW HAVE FREE TICKET TO RIDE.
(From Government News Network (Was Hermes-Government Press Releases))
] DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT 036 31 March 2006 OVERS 60'S AND DISABLED PEOPLE NOW HAVE FREE TICKET TO RIDE
From today people over 60 and disabled people will be able to travel for free on local bus services in their area.
The concessionary bus fares schemes will offer free, off peak local bus travel and will benefit 11 million older and disabled people supporting mobility and inclusion and encouraging bus use.
Those aged 60 and over and disabled people should apply to their local authority for a bus pass.
Free local bus travel will be extended to a nationwide scheme in 2008 which means those entitled will be able to use local bus services anywhere in England.
