The Women’s Concessionary Travel Scheme pass launched in April 2018, following the Mayor’s commitment to help women most affected by the change to the state pension age in 2011.

Women across Greater Manchester born before 5 April 1955, and not eligible for an English National Concessionary Travel Pass, were eligible.

As of 5 April 2021, the Women’s Concessionary Travel pass is no longer valid, because those affected will have become eligible for their English National Concessionary Travel Pass.

The age that you qualify for a travel pass under the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme is based on your state pension age. You can check if you qualify for a pass by checking your state pension age.

With this pass, you can travel free on buses in Greater Manchester during off-peak hours. If you also wish to travel on tram or train within these hours, you can pay £10 to add tram and train for a year.

If you travel outside of these times you must pay the full adult fare.
