To assist travel to and from vaccination centres, time restrictions on the use of concessionary bus passes have been relaxed.
This means that passes are valid at all times from Monday, 25 January 2021, to Friday, 30 April 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.
