England’s free bus pass eligibility is being gradually postponed in line with the State Pension age increase from 66 to 67. People born between 6 August and 5 September 1960 face a five-month delay, while later birth dates receive progressively longer delays until the transition is completed in 2028. London residents can use the fee-based 60+ London Oyster photocard before becoming eligible for the Older Person’s Freedom Pass.
