Closed Negotiate UK-wide recognition of older person's bus passes

Closed on

We want the UK Government to negotiate reciprocal agreements with the devolved administrations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland so as to allow the recognition and use of free OAP bus passes across the whole of the UK.

Due to the amount of the State Pension we receive, it would help enormously for OAPs to be able to cross the borders and visit family and friends using their OAP bus pass. Travel costs and the fact these passes cannot be used across the whole of the UK make visiting other parts of the UK unaffordable to many.

But the Government can change this and make life better for OAPs.
