This bill would require Transport for London to enable any English local authority that is served by a TfL route, or by a route covered by a TfL concessionary scheme, to opt into concessionary fare schemes such as the Freedom Pass. In effect, it opens the door for non-London authorities to participate in TfL’s concessionary schemes. The bill focuses on enabling opt-ins rather than detailing how the schemes would run.
Currently at the 2nd reading in the Commons; the first reading occurred on 21 July 2025. If it passes this stage, it would move to the committee stage for detailed examination.
