Companion

If you are unable to travel without the assistance of a companion you can also apply to have a companion entitlement added to your pass. Medical evidence will be required to support the application.

The companion entitlement allows an adult companion of a pass holder to travel free of charge on journeys starting in Worcestershire.  This is a local enhancement to the scheme and is not available on journey starting outside Worcestershire.
