A free fare scheme for bus travel  in Hertfordshire has been introduced as a trial and will run until 31 March 2007.
Residents of Hertfordshire who are in receipt of a state old-age pension, or are permanently disabled,  will not have to pay for local bus fares once they  have obtained the free bus permit.
If you are eligible and wish to apply for a permit, please telephone 01442 867870 and ask for an application form.  When you return the form, you will need to supply a passport-size photo and proof of your age/disability (full details will be sent to you with the application form).
If this trial is successful, it is hoped that it will become a permanent service in future.
