Bus passes

Home / Parking and transport / Public transport / Bus passes

All councils are obliged to fulfill the requirements of the English National Concessionary Transport Scheme (ENCTS). This provides travel to senior citizens and some disabled people within certain criteria.

Whilst the person may travel free of charge bus companies are reimbursed by the local authority for the area where a journey commenced. Any council is able to provide a service over and above that requirement but when doing so can only offer this benefit where it is responsible for payment for example, journeys commencing within that area.

This scheme in Hull allows for travel 24 hours a day every day, passes are valid on regular bus services only and not excursions.

Hull residents can use their passes for journeys starting within Hull, and journeys extending outside the city boundary. If for instance a Hull resident left at 8am to go to Withernsea overnight and left Withernsea the following day at 8am to come home their pass would be valid for the outbound journey but not for the home bound journey.

It is possible for a disabled person to be provided with a pass that allows a carer to travel with them free of charge provided that the disabled person would not otherwise be able to travel.
