The Government's Statutory Scheme
The Government Statutory scheme, which came into force on 1 April 2008, provides free off peak bus travel on local services anywhere in England. Off peak is defined as:
- Travel between 9:30am and 11.00pm on Monday through to Friday and at all times of the day during weekends and Bank Holidays
Local Authorities are able to provide an enhanced scheme, but it is a requirement of the legislation that each pass recipient opts out of the statutory scheme each year. Fareham Borough Council offers a scheme which exceeds the statutory minimum.
Fareham's Bus Pass Scheme 2009
- Free local travel for Fareham bus pass holders, for journeys which commence anywhere in England, between 9:30am and 11.00pm on Monday through to Friday, and at all times of the day during weekends and Bank Holidays.
How Much is a Bus Pass?
There is no charge for the pass.
Who Can Apply for a Bus Pass?
You can apply for a pass if you are:
- resident within the Borough of Fareham
and either
- aged 60 or over or,
- a qualifying disabled person
How to Apply for a Bus Pass

Lost or Stolen Bus Passes
If you lose your bus pass there is a £10 administration charge to cover the cost of the replacment. Payment can be made in person at the Civic Offices, or over the phone using a debit or credit card.
If your bus pass is stolen we will replace your bus pass, free of charge, when you provide us with a police crime reference number.
In both cases, please report the incident as soon as possible, to the Customer Service Centre on Tel: 01329 236100, or e-mail customerservices@fareham.gov.uk. You can expect to receive your replacement bus pass through the post in at least five working days.
