Disabled and older person's travelcards

Concessionary passes are managed by Local Authorities.

Within the ENCT scheme region (Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council, Bath and North East Somerset Council, and North Somerset Council) individuals of pensionable age are entitled to free off-peak travel from Monday to Friday (09:00 to 04:00) and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. If you are a passholder with a qualifying disability, you are entitled to free 24/7 travel.

There are various services that provide transport to Bristol Airport:
- Services A1 (from/to Bristol) & A3 (from/to Weston-super-Mare) – Bus passes cannot be used for free travel to/from the airport. They can be used for free travel elsewhere on the route for local trips that don’t start or end at the airport (usual time restrictions apply).
- Service A4 (from/to Bath) – Bus passes cannot be used for free travel to/from the airport, however, holders can travel at a discounted rate (visit Air Decker for more information). They can be used for free travel elsewhere on the route for local trips that don’t start or end at the airport (usual time restrictions apply).
- FALCON (from/to Plymouth) – Bus passes cannot be used for free travel anywhere on the route.
Yes. English concessionary bus passes (‘older person’s’ and ‘disabled person’s’) are accepted on all metrobus services.

There’s no need for a separate ticket, just present your pass to the driver as you do on a regular bus.

If you are of pensionable age, you can use your pass to travel on any metrobus service Monday to Friday from 09:00 – 04:00 the next day and any time on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. If you are a disabled passholder, you can use your pass to travel on any metrobus service 24/7.
Yes, all Park & Ride locations accept concessionary travelcards passes after 9am from Monday to Friday and all day Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays (where operating). However, if you are a disabled passholder, you can use your pass on any Park & Ride 24/7 (subject to operating hours.)

This includes Bristol’s Portway and Brislington Park & Ride bus services and bus services operating at Long Ashton Park & Ride; as well as on all Bath Park & Ride services.
