Require all bus operators across England to accept companion bus passes

Set a legal requirement for all bus operators to accept companion passes issued to disabled people, including when issued in another local authority. These are official concessions, and we think refusing them undermines accessibility and discriminates against disabled passengers.

Disabled people often rely on carers to travel safely and independently. The companion bus passes are issued by the Local Authority to support this need, yet some operators refuse to accept them. We feel this creates confusion, restricts mobility, and discriminates against disabled passengers. A national enforcement would ensure consistency, dignity, and equal access to public transport for all.
