7 April 2009
Following the Government's announcement that concessionary bus permits may no longer be used on certain bus services, Guildford Borough Council is advising residents that concessionary permits are valid on all Park and Ride services in the borough.
This means that people aged 60 or over with a valid permit will be able to continue to use the Park and Ride buses for free after 9am, and disabled people with a valid permit can use the service at any time.
The national concessionary bus fare scheme was introduced by the Government in April 2008. Guildford Borough residents aged 60 or over and eligible disabled people are able to travel for free during off-peak hours on local buses anywhere in England.
