Allow Pensioners To Use Bus Pass Before 0930 To Allow Them To Get Shopping Done
In recent days, the supermarkets are opening early for pensioners only to get their vital groceries, these shops are opening from 7am to allow Pensioners in but they cannot use their bus passes until 9.30am so we ask bus companies to relax this rule so pensioners don't have to pay for bus travel.
Ask the bus companies to relax this rule until the coronavirus pandemic is over.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Operating times for free bus travel for pensioners are set by local councils. Since you started this petition, some councils have already changed their operating hours for free travel to allow people to travel for shopping at designated times. You should check your local council's website for more information.
