    Concessionary Travel Update

    Thursday, 2 September 2021 11:56

    Restrictions on the use of Concessionary Bus Passes in Somerset will return to normal from Monday 6th September.

    As bus services in Somerset return to pre-Covid-19 levels and with students returning to schools and colleges, Concessionary Bus Pass holders will no longer be able to travel free of charge on local routes before 9.30 am.

    The restriction, which was temporarily lifted during the pandemic, only applies to journeys on the local bus network before 9.30 am on Mondays to Fridays. Travel will be free for pass holders at weekends and on Bank Holidays.

    In Taunton, the Park and Ride service from both sites remains free of charge for all users at any time.

    Please check timetables with the appropriate bus service operator before you travel.
