Public Transport & SmartPass
What age can I get a 60+ SmartPass in Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland residents aged 60 to 64 can qualify for a 60+ SmartPass.
If you are aged 60 to 64 and are a permanent resident of Northern Ireland, you can qualify for the 60+ SmartPass.
It is different from the Senior SmartPass available from age 65, particularly for all-Ireland travel rights.
The 60+ SmartPass is the Northern Ireland concessionary pass for people aged 60 to 64; it should not be confused with the Senior SmartPass used from age 65.
SmartPass is Northern Ireland's concessionary travel-card system. The exact entitlement depends on the pass type, eligibility category and journey, particularly for cross-border or all-Ireland travel.
