Concessionary Travel with Centrebus
Local bus travel with us can be great value. As well as our range of discount day, season and combination tickets, we offer concessionary travel rates to many people, including children, students and the elderly. Concessionary permits are usually issued by your local council or education establishment, so please do contact them for more details. You must always carry your concessionary permit when travelling, and show it to the driver each time you board the bus.
Travel for Children
Children aged under 5 travel free on Centrebus services, provided they are accompanied by an adult passenger.
In Leicestershire, children aged under 14 can get a discount on standard single and return fares. The discount is usuallly around 30%, but the discount increases to around 50% on some rural services.
We recommend you get a Centrebus Proof of Age card or citizen card to prove your age to the driver if you are 11 or older. Remember that on most routes we operate, children aged 14 upwards pay the standard adult fare.
Travel for Senior Citizens
If you are over 60, you qualify for free bus travel with Centrebus at off-peak times from 1st April 2008. You need to obtain a permit from your local district or borough council to claim the concession on the bus. Off-peak travel means anytime between 09:30 and 23:00 (11pm) Monday to Friday, or any time at weekends or on public holidays. Local residents can get additional travel benefits, including free or reduced rate peak time travel. For full details, visit your local council's website.
