Bus Passes
Staffordshire's older or disabled residents can get free bus travel.
For more information on the criteria, how to apply and frequently asked questions, please visit: www.staffordshire.gov.uk/buspass
Disabled bus passes can be used at any time nationally and not just in Staffordshire, however the companion pass can only be used locally as this is a Staffordshire add on.
UPDATE 02/03/2022 - Currently the disabled bus passes are having difficulty at the National Express Services as their ticket machines keep coming up red, however they should be valid at any time so Matt Pringle is currently in the process of contacting National Express. Any queries please forward to Matt directly.
