Starting April 1, 2027, disabled people across England will enjoy unlimited, free bus travel anytime—day or night—ending rigid time restrictions that currently limit passes to after 9:30 AM on weekdays. This nationwide expansion, inspired by London’s successful Disabled Person’s Freedom Pass, aims to ease the cost of living, boost access to jobs and education, and ensure equal mobility regardless of postcode. Championed by Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, the policy responds to feedback from disabled communities, ending a postcode lottery and affirming that buses are a vital lifeline. While the core change is national, local eligibility criteria may still vary by area.
