For the NSW Government travel scheme you do not need to apply each year unless your circumstances change. For those on the BDC Northern buses, a reminder will be sent out in November for the following year requesting you to complete another application form through the website. This needs to be submitted before the end of Term 4 to allow sufficient time for new bus passes to be created. An annual fee applies to these passes.
