Disabled bus pass holders across England will soon be able to use their passes at any time of day, removing current weekday restrictions. Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the change, which will start on 1 April 2027, to help with the cost of living. The government is providing £60 million in funding for the policy, which has no set end date.
