Louise Collins, Director at the independent watchdog Transport Focus said:

“Removing time restrictions on disabled bus passes is a positive step that will give many people greater freedom and flexibility to travel when they need to, while helping with the cost of living.

“The key now is ensuring bus services are reliable, accessible and available when people want to travel, so that disabled passengers can make the most of these new travel opportunities”
