Islington Council supports a range of transport services for communities within the borough who have specific transport needs, such as people with disabilities or the elderly.
These include:
The council funds the Freedom Pass, providing free public transport to all older people and disabled people in the borough.
From 1 April 2008 you will also be able to travel for free on buses anywhere in the country.
Islington invests about £5.5 million each year so that older and disabled Londoners, can travel for free around the capital and now you can travel out of London using your pass.
Don’t forget - to be able to take advantage of these extra benefits, you need to renew your pass.
If you are over 60, you should renew your pass at your local Post Office. Disabled pass holders should go to your local community care centre.
For full details on how to renew your pass, visit the Freedom Pass website by clicking on the link under Useful Websites on the right.

Other related services in the borough include Transport for London’s Dial-a-Ride service and National Health Service (NHS) patient transport.
We also support other accessibility-related projects including DisabledGo. The aim of DisabledGo is to provide free access information to empower people with disabilities or impaired mobility.
