The figures for concession passes include a small proportion of persons aged under 65. It is not possible to accurately disaggregate this cost.

The figures for AvanchiAccess, the pilot travel pass scheme launched in 2017 for persons with a prescribed disability, are shown for completeness. The figures for 2019 are a forecast based on previous years’ trends.
