Apply for a card
You can apply for a travel card if you are over 60, have a disability or are aged 5 to 21. This page explains how to apply and what documents you need.
If your child is between 5 and 15 years old, their parent or guardian will need to apply on their behalf. Children 16 years or older can apply for their own travel card.
