YP Concessionary Travel 'What you get'.
In order to access all benefits and concessions offered by the scheme and the National Entitlement card, the customer will receive three separate items (in the same envelope), these are:
Accord / National Entitlement Card
The Accord / National Entitlement Card are combined in one (as with the free bus travel scheme for older and disabled people) and can be used by the customer to access local services (e.g. used as a library borrowing card). Also, the card will carry the Young Scot logo (if they opt for this) which allows them to receive a variety of discounts and will carry a PASS hologram which means that it can be used by the cardholder as proof of age.
One side of the card will have the usual blue Accord livery, and the national side of the card will look like this:
IMPORTANT: This should only be used for the purposes stated
above, and can not be used on buses/ trains as proof of entitlement to a concessionary fare.
Bus Concession Card
In order to show entitlement for the concession fare on buses throughout Scotland, the customer will also receive a Bus Concession Card. This should be used as a ‘show and go’ card on buses. This card will be blank on one side, and the other side will look like this:
Young Persons Rail Card Voucher
In order to get a concession fare on trains, the customer will be issued with a voucher that they should take to the train station to exchange for free a Young Persons Rail Card. When using their Young Persons Rail Card they must also present their National Entitlement card.
