Bus Pass information

Shropshire Council’s Newsroom has reported in this post that some bus companies are struggling to automatically process national bus passes. The report states:

Whilst they work to resolve them, Shropshire Council can reassure cardholders that all bus operators in the county have been instructed to accept the passes as valid, and record the acceptance manually instead.
Bus operators are working hard with the Department of Transport and ticket machine providers to make sure that their ticket machines are updated to accept the renewed pass cards in the near future.

Whilst bus drivers should be aware of this it is helpful for passengers to be aware of the situation as well.
