Introduction Everyone aged 66 and over living permanently in the State is entitled to the Free Travel Scheme. Some people under 66 also qualify. If you qualify for free travel, you are issued with a card that you must carry with you when using public transport. In some cases, a Free Travel Companion Card is available which allows a person to travel with the holder (if they are unable to travel alone). Free Travel Cards are non-transferable and can only be used by the named person. Free travel is available on all State public transport (bus, rail and Dublin's LUAS service) with some exceptions. Free travel is also available on a limited number of services operated by private bus transport companies. Private bus transport operators that have opted in to the Free Travel Scheme accept free travel cards. You should contact the Department of Social Protection to check whether your private bus operator accepts free travel cards - see 'Where to apply' below. If you abuse your entitlement to free travel the Department will review your entitlement to a Free Travel Card. For example, abuse could include wrongfully presenting a card for travel or engaging in anti-social behaviour while using the card. When you use your Free Travel Card you must also follow the rules that apply to your mode of transport. Free travel and Public Services Card The Government has introduced a Public Services Card which will allow people to access a range of government services and payments. The Public Services Card will eventually replace the Free Travel Pass. You must register for the Public Services Card when requested to do so by the Department in order to keep your entitlement to Free Travel. Your entitlement to Free Travel will be disallowed or withdrawn if you don't register. If you are entitled to free travel, when you are issued with your new Public Services Card it will also be your Free Travel Card. The card will have F-T printed in a yellow octagon in the top-left-hand corner of the card. You can see a sample card on welfare.ie (pdf). You must show your Public Services Card to the travel operator when you are travelling on public transport. (In some cases you may be asked to scan your Public Services Card however not all transport operators have this facility.) When you receive your new Public Services Card, you must return your old free travel pass to the Department of Social Protection (see 'Where to apply' below). There are 3 categories of free travel: - If FT-P is written on your Public Services Card, you personally are entitled to free travel. - If FT+S is written on your Public Services Card, your spouse, partner or cohabitant can join you for free when you are travelling (they cannot travel for free alone). Your spouse, partner or cohabitant’s name will not be on the card. - If FT+C is written on your Public Services Card a companion (over 16) can travel with you for free (because you are unable to travel alone for medical reasons). Read FAQs on the Public Services Card and free travel (pdf). Note that the Department of Social Protection is no longer issuing paper passes. You can also read 'How to use your public services card for free travel' (pdf). Spouses, civil partners, cohabitants and companions If you are entitled to free travel and you are married, in a civil partnership or cohabiting, you are entitled to a Free Travel Card which allows your partner to accompany you free of charge when travelling. (This does not apply to people under age 66 who are getting Carer's Allowance or who are nominated carers for people getting Constant Attendance Allowance or Prescribed Relatives Allowance from the Department of Social Protection). If you are unable to travel alone you may get a Free Travel Companion Card. This allows you to be accompanied by any person over 16 years of age, free of charge. To qualify for a Free Travel Companion Card you must satisfy certain conditions. Entitlement to the Companion Free Travel Card may be subject to periodic review. You can read about these conditions in the Free Travel leaflet (SW40). Senior SmartPass for travelling in Northern Ireland The All Ireland Free Travel Scheme allows a Free Travel cardholder (those aged 66 and older) to travel free of charge on all bus and rail services within Northern Ireland using a Senior Smartpass card. Similarly, Northern Ireland Senior Smartpass holders are entitled to travel for free on services in Ireland using their existing Senior Smartpass. If your Free Travel Card allows you to be accompanied by a spouse, civil partner or cohabitant or companion they may continue to travel with you for free on cross-border journeys but they cannot accompany you for free on public transport within Northern Ireland. Free Travel cardholders wishing to avail of the All Ireland Free Travel scheme within Northern Ireland must first get a Senior SmartPass card. To get a Senior SmartPass card you must fill in an application form (FTNI1). (It is not possible to get this form online, to get a form you must contact your social welfare local office). The application form must be filled in with black ink only and returned in person (not posted) to your social welfare local office. You must bring the following items with your application form to your social welfare local office: - Your current Free Travel Pass/Public Services Card and - Evidence of your address, (for example, a gas, electricity, phone bill or bank statement) and - Evidence of your identity, (for example, your drivers licence, passport or another form of photo identification) and - A recent passport standard colour photograph. It may take up to six weeks to process your application. However you can only apply 3 weeks before your 66th birthday. If you apply more than 3 weeks before your 66th birthday, your application will be rejected. There is further information on the extension of the Free Travel Scheme. You should continue to use your current Free Travel Card for travel in this State. Renewing a Senior SmartPass Your Senior SmartPass will expire after 5 years. - If you have electronically used your card within the last 2 years you will get a new card automatically in the post from Translink when your card expires. - If you have not used your card in the last 2 years you will be sent a renewal application form to fill out. (The renewal form is not the same as a first-time application and you do not need to supply a photograph.) - If you have never used your card you will not hear from Translink at all. If you wish to get it renewed, you must contact Translink on on 048 9075 9129 who will send you a renewal application. Rules You may be entitled to free travel if you are permanently living in the State and: - You are aged 66 or over - You are getting Disability Allowance, Blind Pension, Carer's Allowance or an Invalidity Pension from the Department of Social Protection. - You have been getting Incapacity Supplement or Workmen's Compensation with Disablement Pension for at least 12 months - You are blind or visually impaired and meet the medical conditions for Blind Pension - You are a specified carer for a person getting Constant Attendance Allowance or Prescribed Relatives Allowance from the Department - You are getting a social security invalidity payment, or similar payment, from another EU member state or from a country with which Ireland has a bilateral social security agreement for at least 12 months - You are a widow or widower or a surviving civil partner aged 60 or over whose late spouse/civil partner held a free travel pass and who is getting one of the following payments: State Pension (Transition), Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Partner's (Contributory) Pension, Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Partner's (Non-Contributory) Pension, One-Parent Family Payment, Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Partner's Pension under the Occupational Injuries Benefit Scheme or a similar social security pension/benefit from an EU member state or a country with which Ireland has a bilateral social security agreement, or an ordinary Garda widow's pension. - You have registered for the Public Services Card when requested to do so Where free travel can be used Free travel is available on most Iarnród Éireann, Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus, Dart and Luas Services and on certain private bus and ferry services. Free travel does not include some special services such as Dublin Bus NITELINK and AIRLINK services. You may also travel free of charge on certain cross-border services between Ireland and Northern Ireland. If you are permanently living on any of the Aran Islands, you may get up to 12 single (or 6 return) air trips each year between the islands and the mainland. People who live permanently on Tory Island (Co. Donegal) are entitled to a 8 (or 4 return) free journeys on the seasonal helicopter service operating between the island and the mainland. There are no restrictions on the times you can use your Free Travel Card. How to apply If you are aged 66 or over and are getting a social welfare pension, the Free Travel Card will issue automatically if you have registered for your Public Services Card. If you have not registered for a Public Services Card, you will be asked to register before your Free Travel Card issues to you. If you are under age 66 and registered for a Public Services Card, you will get a Free Travel Card automatically when you are awarded an Invalidity Pension, a Blind Pension, Disability Allowance or Carer’s Allowance. If you have not registered for the Public Services Card, you will be requested to register before your Free Travel Card issues to you. In all other circumstances, you must apply for free travel by completing a Free Travel application form FT1 (pdf). You can get this form and additional information from the Department of Social Protection - see 'Where to apply' below. The form is also available at your local post office. If you are married or in a civil partnership and either of you apply for free travel or are issued a card automatically, the appropriate type of card (to allow your spouse or civil partner to accompany you free of charge) will be issued. If you are cohabiting, you must apply for this type of card by completing PART 2 of the application form above. If you are unable to travel alone you apply for a Free Travel Companion pass separately, using either a Over 70 Companion pass form (pdf) or an Under 70 Companion pass form (pdf). Lost or damaged Free Travel Passes There are currently 2 types of Free Travel Pass - a paper Free Travel Pass and a Public Services Card Free Travel (with F-T written in the top left-hand corner). Paper passes are no longer being issued so if you need a replacement for a lost or damaged paper pass you must register for a Public Services Card. If your Public Services Card Free Travel is lost, stolen or damaged, you should telephone 1890 837000 to request a replacement card.

Réamhrá Tá chuile dhuine aois 66 agus os a chionn i dteideal na scéime saorthaistil. Tá daoine áirithe faoi an aois sin i dteideal na scéime freisin. I gcásanna áirithe, tá fáil ar Phas Saorthaistil Chompánaigh a cheadaíonn duine bheith in éineacht leis an sealbhóir (mura féidir leo taisteal leo féin). Má tá tú i dteideal saorthaistil, eiseofar pas duit a bheidh ort a iompar agus tú ag baint úsáide as córas iompair phoiblí. Tá pasanna taistil neamh-inaistrithe agus is é an duine ainmnithe amháin ar féidir leis úsáid a bhaint astu. Tá saorthaisteal le fáil ar na seirbhísí iompair phoiblí Stáit go léir (bus, iarnród Éireann, DART agus Luas). Tá saorthaisteal le fáil ar líon teoranta sheirbhísí bhus príobháideach áirithe freisin. Na hoibritheoirí iompair bhus príobháideacha a roghnaigh páirt a ghlacadh sa scéim Saorthaistil, glacann siad le pasanna saorthaistil. Ba chóir duit dul i dteagmháil leis an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí chun a fháil amach an nglacann d’oibritheoir bus príobháideach le pasanna saorthaistil - féach 'Cá háit a ndéanfaidh mé iarratas' thíos. Saorthaisteal agus an Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí Tá Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí a chuirfidh ar chumas daoine rochtain ar raon seirbhísí rialtais agus íocaíochtaí rialtais á thabhairt isteach ag an Rialtas. Tiocfaidh an Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí isteach in ionad an Phas Saorthaistil sa deireadh. Chun do theidlíocht Saor Thaisteal a choinnigh, caithfidh tú clárú le haghaidh Cárta Seirbhísí Poiblí nuair iarrann an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí ort é a dhéanamh. Mura gcláraíonn tú, beidh do theidlíocht Saor Thaisteal dícheadaithe nó aistarraingthe. Má tá tú i dteideal saorthaistil, b’ionann do Chárta Saorthaistil agus do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí nua tar éis duit do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí nua a fháil. Beidh F-T priontáilte in ochtagán buí sa chúinne ag an mbarr ar chlé den chárta aige. Is féidir cárta samplach a fheiceáil ar welfare.ie (pdf). Caithfidh tú do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí a thaispeáint don oibreoir taistil agus tú ag taisteal ar iompar poiblí.(I gcásanna áirithe, iarrtar ort do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí a scanadh, áfach níl an áis seo ag gach oibreoir um iompar.) Nuair a gheobhaidh tú do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí nua, caithfidh tú do sheanphas saorthaistil a chur ar ais chuig an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí (féach ‘Cá háit a ndéanfaidh mé iarratas’ thíos). Is ann do 3 chatagóir de Phas Saorthaistil: - Má tá FT-P scríofa ar do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí, beidh tú i dteideal saorthaistil go pearsanta. - Má tá FT+S scríofa ar do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí, féadfaidh do chéile nó do pháirtnéir nó do chomháitritheoir dul leat saor in aisce agus tú ag taistealní fhéadfaidh sé/sí taisteal saor in aisce ina (h)aonar). Ní bheidh ainm do chéile, do pháirtnéara nó do chomháitritheora ar an gcárta. - Má tá FT+C scríofa ar do Chárta Seirbhísí Poiblí, féadfaidh compánach (os cionn 16 bliana d’aois) taisteal leat saor in aisce (mar nach bhfuil tú ábalta taisteal i d’aonar ar chúiseanna míochaine). Léigh CCanna maidir leis an gCárta Seirbhísí Poiblí agus le saorthaisteal Céile, páirtnéirí sibhialta, comhchónaitheoraí agus compánaigh Má tá pas saorthaistil agat tú pósta, i bpáirtnéireacht nó ag cónaí le duine, tá tú i dteideal Pas Saorthaistil a cheadaíonn do do pháirtí tú a thionlacan saor in aisce nuair a bhíonn sibh ag taisteal. (Ní bhaineann sé seo le daoine faoi aois 66 atá ag fáil Liúntais Cúramóra nó atá ina gcúramóirí ainmnithe do dhaoine atá ag fáil Liúntais Fhreastail Bhuain nó Liúntas don Ghaol Ceaptha ón Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí). Mura féidir leat taisteal leat féin, d’fhéadfá Pas Saorthaistil Chompánaigh a fháil. Tugann sé seo deis duit taisteal in éineacht le aon duine os cionn 16 bliana d’aois saor in aisce. Chun cáiliú le haghaidh Pas Saorthaistil Chompánaigh, caithfidh tú coinníollacha áirithe a shásamh. D’fhéadfadh go mbeidh teidlíocht Saorthaistil Chompánaigh faoi réir athbhreithniú tréimhsiúil. Léigh tuilleadh faoi na coinníollacha seo sa bhileog Saorthaisteal (SW40). SmartPass Sinsearach le taisteal i dTuaisceart Éireann Ceadaíonn an Scéim Saorthaistil Uile-Éireann do shealbhóir an Phas Saorthaistil (daoine atá in aois 66 agus níos sine) taisteal saor in aisce ar na seirbhísí bus agus iarnróid uile i dTuaisceart Éireann ag baint leasa as cárta Smartpass. Ar an mbealach céanna, tá sealbhóirí SmartPass Sinsearach i dTuaisceart Éireann i dteideal taisteal saor in aisce ar sheirbhísí i bPoblacht na hÉireann ag baint leasa as an SmartPass Sinsearach reatha atá acu. Má cheadaíonn do Phas Saorthaistil duit a bheith tionlactha ag céile/páirtnéir sibhialta/comhchónaitheoir nó cara, is féidir leo leanúint ag taisteal saor in aisce ar thurais trasteorann ach ní féidir leo tú a thionlacan saor in aisce ar iompar poiblí i dTuaisceart Éireann. Más mian le sealbhóirí an Phas Saorthaistil leas a bhaint as an scéim Saorthaistil Uile-Éireann i dTuaisceart Éireann, caithfidh siad cárta SmartPass Sinsearach a fháil i dtús báire. Caithfear foirm iarratais (FTNI1) a chomhlánú chun cárta SmartPass Sinsearach a fháil. (Ní féidir an fhoirm a fháil ar líne, agus chun foirm a fháil caithfear teagmháil a dhéanamh an Líne Bileoige Lóghlao an Leasa Shóisialaigh ar Caithfear an fhoirm iarratais a líonadh le dúch dubh amháin agus a thabhairt ar ais go pearsanta (ní tríd an bpost) go dtí an oifig leasa shóisialaigh áitiúil atá agat. Caithfidh tú na míreanna a leanas a thabhairt leat leis an bhfoirm iarratais chuig an oifig leasa shóisialaigh áitiúil: - Do Phas Saorthaistil reatha agus - Fianaise de do sheoladh, (mar shampla, bille gáis, leictreachais, teileafóin nó ráiteas bainc) agus - Fianaise aitheantais, (mar shampla, do cheadúnas tiomána, pas nó foirm eile d’aitheantas fótagrafach) agus - Grianghraf daite nua caighdeánach pas. D’fhéadfadh sé suas le sé seachtainí a thógáil chun d’iarratas a phróiseáil. Tá tuilleadh eolais ar shíneadh na Scéime Saorthaistil ar fáil. Ba chóir duit leanúint ag úsáid do Phas Saorthaistil reatha chun taisteal sa Stát seo.
