Basildon Residents: Concessionary Bus Passes

From 1st April 2008 onwards Basildon District Council can offer a free new National Concession Bus Pass to district residents who are either aged 60 and over, or who have certain disabilities and are of fare paying age and under 60 years old.

Those entitled to the New National Concession Bus Pass will be able to use it on local bus services throughout the whole of England, free of charge from April 1st 2008. It will last up to 4 years from the date of issue.

Pass holders will be entitled to use it for travel during the following periods:
Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 11.00pm.
All day on Saturdays and Sundays.
All day on Bank Holidays


Before using their National Concession Bus Pass in another part of the country we recommend that pass holders try and find out which local bus company accepts the pass and if there any local restrictions (such as restricted hours), on the use of the bus pass in that part of the country.
