Bus Services: Homelessness
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what his policy is on the provision of bus passes for people aged over 60 years with no fixed abode; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Local authorities are responsible for assessing eligibility for concessionary bus travel. They are required to issue passes to elderly and eligible disabled people whose "sole or principle residence" is within their area. Provided there is suitable evidence, we believe that it is possible for people of no fixed abode to fulfil this criterion.
