| Companion Passes If you need a companion or carer because your disability means you are unable to use public transport without their assistance, you may apply for a 'Companion Card' entitling your companion to free bus travel when accompanying you. You need to contact your local Council to apply, although not all councils issue these passes, and they are not valid in some areas. For further information contact Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee: www.dptac.gov.uk |
