- Over-60s are entitled to travel on public buses and trains for free in Northern Ireland, regardless of their income, and this system will continue. But Mr O'Dowd has announced that a "nominal fee" will soon be charged to passengers making a first-time application for a Smartpass. The one-off fee is expected to be about £20 for people aged 60-64.
