TfL Ref: 2542-1819

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 27 December 2018 asking for information about who receives TFL Free Travel / free travel passes.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked: Please could you tell me who the TFL provides Free Travel to( E.g Which Agencies, Athletes, Politicians, ETC). Also please could you confirm ,why your cleaners are not entitled to free travel?

TfL Staff Travel provides travel facilities to TfL employees, TfL Board Members, Eligible former TfL employees who are now retired, Bus Operator employees who operate a TfL bus route on behalf of TfL and the following third party companies who run rail routes on behalf of TfL including Docklands Light Railway (Keolis Amey Docklands), London Overground (Arriva Rail London), TfL Rail (MTR Crossrail),

The above employees, board members, bus operators, third party rail employees and retired members are eligible for free travel via a staff Oyster card and one nominee Oyster for a person living at the same address as the employee/retiree who must be over the age of 16.

Cleaners and Non-permanent Labour do not get free home to work or leisure travel facilities via TfL Staff Travel as they are not directly employed by TfL, however some do receive duty travel via TfL Staff Travel to commute on the network for work purposes only, for example travelling to and from different locations/stations.

If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact me.
