Free Buses for All Disabled People | London News

Starting April 1st, disabled people across England will ride buses for free anytime, day or night — a major win after years of advocacy. Gone are the old time limits that restricted passes to weekdays between 9:30 AM and 11 PM. The government is pouring £60 million into this change, with £40 million from the Department for Work and Pensions and £20 million from Transport, aiming to ease financial pressure and ensure mobility isn’t tied to the clock. Advocates have long argued that disabilities don’t pause at certain hours — buses must be accessible for work, school, and appointments. While some say funding comes from existing budgets, this move still delivers real relief during tough economic times, offering a practical step toward greater inclusion and dignity for disabled communities nationwide.
