We can provide a companion bus pass if you are severely disabled and can only access local bus services with the assistance of a travelling companion.

The pass lets your travelling companion travel for free on journeys that start within Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. For journeys starting outside of this area, they will need to pay a fare.

It does not need to be the same travelling companion for all journeys.

Apply for a companion pass

To apply for a companion pass, download the application form and send it to us in addition to your new bus pass application.

Section B of the form needs to be completed by a medical professional involved in your care.

If you already have a bus pass issued by us, complete the application form and email it to concessionaryfares@bcpcouncil.gov.uk. You do not need to re-apply for the bus pass.

Make sure you read our bus pass terms and conditions.
