Free bus travel throughout your birthday month - Travel West includes Bath and Bristol

Enjoy free travel on participating bus services on your birthday month.Anyone from the age of 5 living in the West of England is now eligible to apply for free bus travel on participating services for the month their birthday falls in.

All you have to do is apply at least 7 days before the first day of your birthday month. But you can still apply after that – right up to the 15th, and still get a pass for the rest of that month.

The Birthday Bus Pass will then be delivered to you via post, to use during your birthday month. Don’t delay, apply now!

To apply for your pass, simply apply online. Applying is simple. All you’ll need:

• Your address: A valid address in the West of England area (Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire)
• Your age: If you’re 18 or under, you’ll need to verify your age, to make sure that the bus operators are reimbursed correctly. Check the application page for more details.
• Your identity: a recent digital photo that meets the standard photo-pass requirements.

Your Birthday Bus Pass will then be sent to you in the post which you simply need to scan on the machine reader when boarding the bus. For WESTlink bookings, simply quote the code on the back of the pass when booking your ride.
