Terms and conditions of purchase for senior tickets
The municipalities in Västra Götaland and Kungsbacka offer their registered elderly residents free public transport journeys with a senior ticket from Västtrafik. The municipality, according to an agreement with Västtrafik, pays for the senior tickets and decides from what age (65, 70 or 75 years) and what times the ticket is valid (off-peak hours or around the clock). Due to capacity issues, some municipalities can only choose off-peak hours validity.
When you order a senior ticket, a Västtrafik card with the ticket is sent to your registered address. If you want the card to another address, you are responsible for ordering forwarding of your mail.
Since the senior ticket is personal, it must be registered to you in Västtrafik's customer register. Registration takes place automatically when the ticket is ordered. If you de-register the senior ticket yourself or register it on someone else, it will be terminated. The ticket also terminates if you are registered in a new municipality. If the agreement between the municipality and Västtrafik should be terminated in the future, Västtrafik will send you information before the senior ticket is terminated.
The senior ticket may not be lent out. The offer "Travel 4, pay for 1" does not apply. At a ticket inspection, you must be able to identify yourself with valid ID. If you are travelling with a vehicle that does not have Västtrafik's card reader, you need to have a certificate of validity with you. The senior ticket must always be shown to the reader on board. You are responsible for taking part of the information about the validity of the senior ticket and for ensuring that the ticket is valid for the journeys that are made.
