florence kat   11 #1 Posted April 14, 2019 I think this topic has arisen before. I have a hospital appointment at 8.30 a.m. on a weekday. I shall have to travel by bus to get there. Can I use my OAP bus pass if I show my appointment letter to the driver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nikki-red   308 #4 Posted April 14, 2019 The ticket machines will be set to certain times etc, I doubt theres any way a driver can over ride them, whatever the reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
fozzybear210   10 #5 Posted April 15, 2019 Yes you can. If you have a valid appointment letter, show the driver and they will issue a ticket manually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bazjea   10 #8 Posted April 15, 2019 I couldn't  use my OAP pass on the tram  last week, when going'  to the Hallamshire for a medical appointment The conductors  reader would not accept my pass. So had to pay full fare.              Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy C   86 #9 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) There is no such arrangement in the concessionary fare scheme and the government doesn't provide any funding beyond bus travel 09.30-23.00.  However - Stagecoach BUSES offer that facility in south Yorkshire as a special gesture at their own cost.  TM Travel run a special offer of £1 flat fare before 09.30 with a senior pass.

kaleidoscope   10 #11 Posted April 18, 2019 I have used my pass a few times last year on the tram early in the morning.  No problem - just showed my appointment letter from the hospital.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
