In England, older people (both men and women) who have reached the female age of retirement or eligible disabled people are able to travel anywhere in England using their concessionary travel bus pass obtained from their local authority. There is a PDF chart available to allow you to see when you will become eligible (please see downloads on the right of this webpage).

From 1 April 2011, Essex County Council will be responsible for issuing your concessionary bus pass.

We want to know what you find most useful about your current pass so we are conducting a consultation so we can make an informed decision about what the County Council offers from 1 April 2011.

To share your views, please complete the online survey. Alternatively, to request a paper survey call 0845 7430 430 or visit any library or council office in Essex.
