Eligibility
This half fare concessionary travel pass is available
to those people aged between 17 and 64 and resident in Northern Ireland for at least 3 months who, due
to medical reasons, have either:
- been refused a licence to drive a
motor vehicle by DVLNI; or
- have had an existing licence revoked by DVLNI.
It
should be noted that people who have been refused, or had revoked, a driving licence because of persistent
misuse of drugs or alcohol are not covered by the definition of a disabled person, and are thus not
entitled to this concession.
How to Apply
Application
forms can be obtained from all Translink Bus and Rail stations, by telephone 0845 600 0049 or by e-mailing
your request to transport.policy@drdni.gov.uk
