It was on Thursday 18th February when I last used my bus pass and had no problems. I had other payment methods ready just in case! Ticket showed no expiry date which is presumably how it didn’t reject.
Hi Everyone
I have recently received my TIE (WHOO HOO !) and thought I would try for a bus pass. Looking at the advice on here, thanks everyone, I went to the little booth in the Fruit and Veg market and just said 'passe de boose' in a very English way and the gentleman passed me a form to complete just my name and NIE number and then directed me to the bank (green coloured bank just to the left when you go out from his booth).You have to pay 7 euros in cash.....bank clerk speaks English, result. BTW, also when you get into the bank you have to get yourself a ticket for the queue. You then have to go back to the man (who gives you a date and appointment time on a slip of paper). Will update you on Stage 2 once done but hopefully this will be useful to everyone wanting to apply for a bus pass. If you have more Spanish than I do then that will be better I think !
