Disability bus passes

Reading Borough residents who cannot hold a driver’s license on medical grounds or with limited mobility can apply for a disability bus pass (Access Pass). You may use your pass at any time on weekdays, weekends and bank holidays and you may also be able to travel for free on Readibus if you meet their eligibility criteria. Carers may also qualify for free bus travel as a companion (Access Companion Pass).

For more information on concessionary bus passes please call 0118 937 3767 or use our online enquiry form.

Eligibility criteria for an Access or Access Companion bus pass

When your bus pass is due to expire, a new pass will automatically be sent to your home address, provided that Reading Borough Council has your current address on record.

If you have not told us that you have changed address then you will not receive your replacement pass.

Notify us about a change of address or name, or to update your pass photo

If your new address is in the borough of Reading you will also be required to provide proof of your new address.
