Concessionary travel for older people
There are a number of options that those aged 60 or over can take to reduce the cost of travel, including:
- Those with an Older Person’s Freedom Pass can travel free on the TfL network after 9am on weekdays and at any time on weekends and bank holidays
- The Hopper fare gives unlimited journeys for £1.65, made within one hour of first touching in
- A Senior Railcard discount set on an Oyster card gives a third off pay as you go off-peak fares
- Those claiming certain benefits can get a 50 per cent discount on bus and tram pay as you go fares and season tickets
- Those with a Disabled Person’s Freedom Pass can travel free at any time on the TfL network, and on most National Rail services in London after 9:30am on weekdays and at any time on weekends and bank holidays
Walking and cycling are also great options on shorter journeys for those who are able to. TfL have a walking Tube map that shows how long it takes to walk between Tube stations, and our expanded cycle hire scheme now also has 500 e-bikes for hire across 800 docking stations.
