How to get a disabled bus pass
A disabled person’s bus pass gives you free off-peak travel on local buses, helping to ease everyday transportation costs.
You can qualify under several categories, including severe walking difficulties, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, or if you have been refused a driving licence on medical grounds. Applications are processed online via GOV.UK through your local council. You will just need your identity documents, a recent photo, and your official medical evidence.
When applying, remember our main tip: explain your real day-to-day travel difficulties rather than just listing your diagnosis. The assessment teams need to see exactly how your condition impacts your ability to use public transport.
