Transport provider information

If you have a SuperGold card you can already travel for free on public transport at off-peak times. If you have a Community Services Card (CSC) as well as a SuperGold card, or a combo card, you can apply for a 50% discount at peak travel-times as well.

In most cases, you need one travel card for each discount. If you want discounted travel during on- and off-peak times, you may need two travel cards.
You could have the:

• SuperGold discount, for free off-peak travel on one card, and
• Community Connect discount on a second travel card.

See your local public transport provider’s website for more information and how to apply.

If you have public transport included as a cost for payments such as Disability Allowance or Temporary Additional Support, please tell us your new costs when you start using the Community Connect discount. This may affect the amount you get for these types of payments.
