Permanent residents of the borough who are of state pension qualifying age or who meet the disability criteria are entitled to a national bus pass or travel tokens.
The national bus pass entitles holders to free bus travel on local services anywhere in England between the hours of 9:30am and 11pm Monday to Friday and at any time on weekends or bank holidays. This does not include coach services. The pass can be used through mainland England and on the Isle of Wight and Isles of Scilly. (The pass cannot be used in Wales or Scotland or on the Isle of Man or Channel Islands)
For Basingstoke and Deane residents we have enhanced the bus pass to make journeys on scheduled bus services within the borough at any time of the day.
As an alternative we are able to offer travel tokens instead of the national bus pass. Travel tokens may be used on buses, trains, community transport, Neighbour Care, Dial a Ride, taxis and shopmobility within the borough. The travel tokens terms and conditions leaflet is available online.
