Changes to Concessionary Bus Passes

After numerous questions from constituents, I wanted to make you aware of changes to concessionary bus passes across Wales.

I can confirm that all holders of a concessionary pass will need to reapply before Tuesday, December 31^st 2019, when current passes will expire.

The old cards are being replaced by Transport for Wales with ‘Concessionary Travel Cards’. This is due to new-style card readers being installed on buses in the new year which would be unable to read the old cards.

Applying for a new bus pass can be done online or a written form can be requested by emailing:  [email protected] or ringing 0300 303 4240

To reapply, card holders will need the 18-digit card number printed on the front of the green bus pass, date of birth,  postcode and National Insurance number.
