The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme pass is a national pass. Each travel concession authority, in this case Somerset Council, holds responsibility for administrating the scheme in their own area. This application is only valid for Somerset residents who are of pensionable age or eligible on the grounds of disability.

The bus pass is free, but there may be an administration charge for replacing a valid pass if it has been lost, stolen or damaged.

You can apply for a bus pass 28 days before the date you are eligible. If you are not sure of the date you become eligible.
