The free travel scheme permits free travel on most CIÉ public transport services, Luas and a range of services offered by some 80 private operators in various parts of the country for those eligible under the scheme. The free travel scheme is available to all people aged over 66 and living permanently in the State. Applicants who are under age 66 must be in receipt of a qualifying payment and live permanently in the State in order to qualify for the scheme.
At the end of January 2019 there were 937,180 customers entitled to avail of Free Travel.
A list of all private bus operators who are currently participating in the Free Travel Scheme is provided as follows. A full list of all operators participating in the Scheme is published on my Department's website www.welfare.ie.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
