Surrey County Council has worked with bus companies in Surrey since 2022 to run this scheme. It offers those who came to Surrey on a Homes for Ukraine visa a bus pass free travel on their most used bus routes. The scheme is coming to an end in March 2027, by which time it will have operated for 5 years - the longest scheme of its kind in the UK.
The deadline for applying or renewing a Ukraine temporary bus pass is Monday 4 January 2027.
Our offer is for temporary bus passes which are valid for one chosen bus company until 31 March 2027.
For Ukrainian nationals who have already had a Homes for Ukraine temporary bus pass, you may be eligible for a further bus pass valid until 31 March 2027 as long as you apply before Monday 4 January 2027.
You will need to reapply when your current bus pass runs out, at which point you will be issued a new bus pass for up to six months, depending on what is offered by your chosen bus operator.
For new applicants applying now, you will be issued a new bus pass for up to six months, depending on what is offered by your chosen bus operator. When this pass runs out you can reapply to get a new free bus pass which will be valid until 31 March 2027 as long as you apply before Monday 4 January 2027.
