Concessionary travel
Helping you get around the city, simply and affordably
If you hold a concessionary pass for older or disabled people, issued by Nottingham City Council or Nottinghamshire County Council, you can travel for free on our trams during certain times and we’ve made it easy to know when and how.
Please note, pass holders from other council areas will need to purchase a concessionary return tram ticket from the tram stop ticket machines.
