Access to free travel across the capital could be reduced after London Councils confirmed it was planning to carry out a review of the Older Person’s Freedom Pass.
The body, which represents London’s 32 boroughs and the City of London, is concerned about the rising expense for councils of delivering the scheme.
It said no changes were currently planned, but one of the ideas that has been suggested was to limit free transport for over 66-year-olds to buses only. By doing so, it could save London councils over £100m a year.
The Freedom Pass allows those aged over 66 free travel on buses, the Tube, trams, DLR, London Overground, the Elizabeth line and most National Rail services in the capital.
