Unlike bus passes which can only be used on buses, tokens can be used at any time for payment of fares on many different types of public transport services approved by your council. And, of course, with tokens nobody needs to know you are a concessionary traveller because no-one knows whether you are paying with coins or tokens. Just a small thing but important to some people. We try to ensure that our tokens are easy to differentiate from normal coins by blind and partially sighted people.
