The Travel Concessions (Eligibility)(England) Order 2010
The Greater London Authority Act 1999 and the Transport Acts of 1985 and 2000 make provision for travel concessions. In particular, older people resident in England are entitled to free off-peak travel on local bus services on showing a permit, which must be issued free of charge by the local authority. Older London residents are entitled to additional travel concessions on the London Local Transport Network. In addition to these mandatory concessions, local authorities have the discretion to establish schemes which offer older people further travel concessions.
