Concessionary pass trial on buses

We ran a trial in August and November so that older and disabled TfGM concessionary pass holders could travel on buses before 9.30am for free.

This trial has now ended and the usual travel rules apply.

Share your thoughts

Have your say on the trial, everyone is welcome to share their views.

Fill out our short online survey before midnight on 3 December and help shape the evaluation.

Next steps

From 1 December, you can continue to use your pass as normal, from 9.30am to 12am (Monday to Friday) and all day, weekends and bank holidays.

The trial was held to look at the impact of lifting the 9.30am restriction on peak bus services and those shortly after 9.30am.

We'll now assess the evidence, including analysing passenger feedback, and bus and pass use, before a decision is made on whether the move can be made permanent.
