florence kat Posted April 14, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki-red Posted April 14, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzybear210 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yes you can. If you have a valid appointment letter, show the driver and they will issue a ticket manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazjea Posted April 15, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted April 16, 2019 Share 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.
