Some disabled people can travel for free on buses at all times in Greater Manchester. If you qualify, we will give you a Concession Plus pass. This allows you to travel for free on buses at all times in Greater Manchester and for free on local buses elsewhere in England between 9.30am and 11pm Monday to Friday, and all day at weekends and on public holidays
To apply for a national concessionary travel pass, you need to get an application form from a GMPTE Travelshop. These are usually situated at bus stations.
Travel Vouchers
If you are registered blind or have serious walking difficulties and cannot use ordinary buses, you may be able to get Travel Vouchers.
You can use these to pay for taxis and door-to-door services, like Ring and Ride and Local Link. This is only available if you live in Greater Manchester and are willing to give up your national concessionary travel pass.
For more information about Travel Vouchers, please phone our Travel Concessions department on 0161 244 1050 and ask for a leaflet.
