Local Variations
Variations from the National Bus Pass Scheme
There are so many local conditions within the UK - different times passes are available, different services which can be used with a bus pass, etc that it isn't difficult to imagine someone appearing on 'Mastermind' with their chosen subject of 'Bus Pass Rules in the UK'. To give just a few some examples:
- Residents of Greater Manchester will have a special logo on the new national pass that will mean that they can still get reduced or free travel on rail and Metrolink within Greater Manchester.
- On Merseyside currently Bus Pass holders are be able to travel on most buses, trains and Mersey Ferries within Merseyside.
- In the Oxford City Council area the new scheme offers free travel from 9am to 11pm on weekdays and all day at weekends and on bank holidays
