Bus pass, tokens and railcard

Residents who live in the district permanently may be eligible for our concessionary scheme. This gives the option of receiving either a National Bus Pass, Taxi Tokens or a Senior Railcard.

Bus Pass
The national free fare Bus Pass can be used all over England. On week days the scheme starts at 9.30am although there are no time restrictions at weekends or on Bank Holidays. The pass may be used on all scheduled bus services. West Oxfordshire District Council enhances the scheme locally by allowing West Oxfordshire pass holders to travel from 9am on weekdays within the district

See our frequently asked questions for more details.

Transport Tokens
An annual allowance of £31 of Transport Tokens is available as an alternative to the bus pass. Each token is worth £1 and can be used as cash in participating local taxis and on some buses.

See our frequently asked questions for more details.

Senior Railcard
The Senior Railcard entitles applicants to make rail journeys at a reduced fare.

If you have any difficulty completing the application form, please call Reception Services on 01993 861090, or complete the online General Enquiry Form.

Please note: If you select either tokens or Senior Railcard as your preferred travel concession, you forgo your entitlement to the free fare bus pass. You may only change from one travel concession to another after twelve months, this being on the anniversary of your entitlement.
