Disabled Travelers Get 24/7 Free Buses | Liverpool News

Starting April 1st, disabled people across England will enjoy unlimited, 24/7 free bus travel — a major win after years of restricted weekday passes. Funded by a £60 million reallocation from existing government budgets, the move removes time limits and empowers mobility for work, education, and healthcare. Prime Minister Andy Burnham called it long overdue, echoing his own reforms in Greater Manchester. Championed by Liberal Democrat MP Tom Gordon, who campaigned for nearly two years, the policy recognizes that disability doesn’t follow a schedule — nor should access to transport. While some question the funding source, the practical impact is clear: a daily barrier to independence is finally being dismantled.
