Travel pass for older people

If you qualify for a state pension, you could be eligible for a pass that gives you free travel in Greater Manchester and the rest of England under the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme.

Women’s Concessionary Travel Scheme pass

If you don’t qualify for the national pass but are female, born before 5 April 1955 and are a permanent resident in Greater Manchester then you will qualify for a Women’s Concessionary Travel pass from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM).

With this pass, you can travel free on buses in Greater Manchester during off-peak hours and have the option to pay to add tram and train travel.
