Default Gibraltar public transport

Hi everyone.

Is Gibraltar's public transport system the same as the UK?

I have a Concessionary Travel Pass which entitles me to free bus travel in the UK due to my disability and for other people it can be their age.

In London they are called a freedom pass. See the picture attached


Would this work on Gibraltar's busses, I would be surprised if they didn't as it is part of the UK.

According to what is posted on this site the answer would seem to be, No, however Fred will be along shortly with the definitive answer.

The pass can be used anywhere in the UK, doesn't matter which council supplies the card.

Simple answer is no Gibraltar is not part of the UK

It is a Self Governing British Overseas Territory

I get free bus travel in Gib but not in the UK, that is if I was ever bothered to visit there.

I do not think you can use it in Scotland or Wales either.

The card shown is the English National Concession Card - and therefore would only be valid in England - not the whole of the UK.
