>>> where are you, surely you can get a bus pass
Emmie:
The qualifying age for a bus pass used to be 60 throughout the UK. That was because it was the age at a woman became eligible for her state pension (with a man getting their bus pass on the same date as a woman who shared his birthday).
When the state pension age for women started to rise, so did the qualifying age for a bus pass (for both men and women). At least it did in England. The administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decided to stick with 60 as the qualifying age.
Because the Freedom Pass that Londoners get includes an English national bus pass as well (for senior citizens), the qualifying age for for it has been rising in line with the rules for the rest of England.
