Concessionary Travel
Travelling companions
The only public transport for which you still need a Strathclyde Concessionary Travel Scheme Card is the ferry. Any existing Strathclyde scheme cards with a ferry entitlement on it should be kept. A Companion Travel Card will also be needed for use on ferries if there is a ferry entitlement named on it.
The Companion Travel Card only shows a photograph of the holder. The companion must be 5 years old or over and must start and end their journey with the person they are helping.
If you have a Travel Card and want to exchange it for a Companion Travel Card you have to produce evidence that you qualify. You can do this by calling in person at the Travel Card Unit or your local Social Work Office with evidence of your entitlement. Alternatively, you can post it in with a note of your current card number to the Travel Card Unit, SPT, Consort House, 12 West George St, Glasgow, G2 1HN. A Companion Travel Card will be posted to you within 7-10 working days.
