Using your bus pass

You can travel free of charge on almost all local bus services in Wales and, in some cases, to towns just over the border in England.

You are the only person allowed to use your bus pass.

If you allow someone else to use it, your pass could be cancelled and may also lead to legal action.

Travel using your bus pass is subject to the normal regulations and conditions of the bus operators.

Your pass does not give you additional rights or entitle you to be carried in preference to other passengers.

The council accepts no liability for the failure of any bus service to operate or of any operator to accept your bus pass for travel.

If your pass is not accepted contact the passenger transport team for assistance.
