This means that passes are valid at all times from Monday, 25 January 2021, to Friday, 18 June 2021, in Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
To help slow down the spread of Covid-19, please use contactless payments if you can. Most bus operators now accept at least one form of contactless payment.
