Councils are being forced to hand out temporary bus passes after delays continued to plague the new system On April 1 the new national fares scheme came into force, giving free travel on buses to the over-60s nationwide.
After initial delays left thousands of people without passes, bus companies across the county told pensioners their expired passes would still be accepted on buses until the end of April.
But that has left many people who only turned 60 on or after April 1 with no pass and no chance of free bus travel.
The initial delays with the passes came after the company producing them for people in Sussex, Euclid, ran into difficulties with suppliers.
