Important news - From 1st April 2011, whilst the concessionary travel scheme becomes the responsibility of West Sussex County Council, the administration of the scheme will continue to be done by Adur & Worthing Councils. The new scheme will be similar to the old one, with the main change being that if you have a disabled bus pass (yellow stripe down right side) you will be able to travel any time provided your journey on the bus starts within West Sussex. This website will be updated shortly with the changes. In the meantime, there will be notices / leaflets at the Adur Civic Centre and Worthing Town Hall with details of the new scheme. If you have any queries you should contact us on (01273) 263399.
