Consultation on the definition of eligible services for the statutory bus concession in England

Date published:: 30 October 2008

Closing date:: 23 January 2009

Summary: The improvements to the statutory minimum concession introduced since 2002, and in particular the introduction of the England-wide concession on 1 April 2008, have meant that the eligible service criteria have come under greater scrutiny. We are consulting on proposals which are intended to remove as much uncertainty as possible and to clarify the existing criteria.
