Concessionary travel - Taxi Vouchers, Brighton and Hove

We are able to issue £70 worth of taxi vouchers each year (£35 if applying after 1 October) and these will be valid until the following April.

If you currently have a valid bus pass you must return it before the taxi vouchers can be given to you. You cannot re-apply for a bus pass within the period for which the taxi vouchers have been issued. The current period is from 1 April to the 31 March.

If your condition improves and you can use public transport again, we'll give you another bus pass providing you give back any unused taxi vouchers.

If your condition changes again and you can't use public transport the following issuing period, you can give back your bus pass and have taxi vouchers again. However, an option to change back to a bus pass again during the same issuing period won't be allowed
