Go 4less
The Norwich City Council National Bus Pass now incorporates the Go 4less card so automatically entitles you to our Go 4less discounts, shown below. You no longer need to apply for a separate Go 4less card.
To get your National Bus Pass you have to be a Norwich City Council resident aged 60 or over, or a qualifying disabled person. Find out how to apply for a bus pass.
