Gold Card

Anyone over 60 (depending on your date of birth) can have a Gold Card − the travel, discount and library card for Derbyshire residents. It is a blue striped card.

Some younger people, with certain disabilities, can also have a Gold Card. It is an orange striped card.

Gold Card allows you to travel free, off-peak on local buses throughout the whole of England, get discounts at around 1,300 shops and other local businesses and to borrow at all Derbyshire and Derby city libraries.

Gold Card holders can also use community transport dial-a-bus services. You will be charged a £1 flat rate single fare (£2 return). It doesn't matter how far you travel on a dial-a-bus, the fare is the same.

To check if you qualify for a Gold Card read our eligibility page.
