Your FAQ

Question: I reach the age of 60 after 6th April 2010. When will I get my bus pass?

Answer: From 6th April 2010, the age of eligibility for concessionary travel for women will be pension age and for men it will be the pensionable age of a woman born on the same day.

The state pension age for women is rising by five years over a period of ten years. The age of concessionary travel eligibility will therefore rise gradually from 60 on 5 April 2010 to 65 on 6 April 2020.
