Concessionary Fares

We have extensive knowledge of all aspects of concessionary bus fares through our work on behalf of operators and Concessionary Travel Authorities, including:

• Scheme design, implementation and review;
• Day-to-day administration;
• Calculation of reimbursement rates;
• Independent audit of claims and of scheme administration;
• Use of the DfT toolkits and other official guidance; and
• Successfully handling negotiations and formal appeals.

We also have experience of taxicard and voucher schemes and concessionary travel on Community Transport, rail, ferry and air services.

TAS has played a prominent role in advocating the fair and sensible application of fare concessions and appropriate levels of reimbursement. We have won more than twelve formal appeals and averted many more, taking pride in being able to mediate mutually acceptable settlements between bus operators and Travel Concession Authorities.

Working with West Sussex County Council, we implemented a young person’s scheme from a feasibility study to its administration processes.
