You can now apply for your buss pass at Age UK/Age Concern outlets
Age Uk has teamed up with Centro and West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority to make it easier for people over 60 to apply for a bus pass. Age UK will provide a check and send facility for older people wanting to apply for free bus, train and Metro travel pass.
