Concessionary Fares Scheme for disabled people

The Concessionary Fares Scheme gives free, off-peak local bus travel throughout England for people who have a disability.

The person with the disability may be allowed to have another person travelling with them who would get the same concession.




You will be able to get a disabled person's travel permit if you:

  • are blind or partially sighted
  • are profoundly or severely deaf
  • are without speech
  • have a disability or injury which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on your ability to walk
  • do not have arms or have long-term loss of use of both arms
  • have a substantial learning disability
  • have been refused a driving licence or would be refused a driving licence on medical grounds, other than on the grounds of persistent misuse of drugs or alcohol.
