Starting next April, disabled people across England will enjoy free, all-day bus travel—no limits, no fees, day or night. Building on a successful pilot in Greater Manchester, this nationwide rollout removes weekday restrictions and is backed by £60 million in government funding—with no end date in sight. Charities celebrate the move as a vital step toward financial relief and independence, especially for those needing early-morning trips to work, school, or medical care. Transport Secretary calls it an end to the “postcode lottery,” aligning with broader efforts to make buses more affordable—including a two-pound fare cap and free travel for under-sixteens this summer. This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about dignity, opportunity, and true inclusion for everyone.
