National Bus Passes from 1st April 2008
From 1 April 2008, a new national bus pass scheme will be introduced.

The new pass will mean that people who are eligible will be able to travel free between 9.30am and 11,00 pm weekdays, all day weekends and bank holidays on any bus in England. In previous years, travel had been restricted to the local area only.

Across Wiltshire (excluding Swindon), people will be able to use their bus passes at any time of day and those with disabilities may also be able to take a companion with them, free of charge. These extra benefits are paid for by North Wiltshire District Council and the other district councils across the county.

So that bus operators will recognise the new passes, they will look the same across the country. However, they cannot be used on taxis, community transport or coach travel.

The new bus passes have already been issued to people that are renewing their details.

If you think that you are eligible this year and would like more information then telephone the helpline on 0845 601 0487 or visit the website at www.northwilts.gov.uk/buspass
