Article 2 of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly stipulates that the age starting point for the elderly is 60 years old. In other words, all China people and citizens who have reached the age of 60 belong to the elderly and can apply for the old-age card. The same is true for the bus card for the elderly, that is, the elderly who have reached the age of 60 can apply for the bus card for the elderly. Residents who meet the age can go to the bus company's sales outlets with their household registration book, ID card, senior citizen's card and recent two-inch color photos bareheaded, and then pay the bus card deposit 10 yuan.

Benefits of the old-age card:

The senior citizen card, also known as the "senior citizen card", is a valid certificate issued by the government to show the identity of the elderly. According to different ages, people aged 60-69 get green cards, and those over 70 get orange cards.

The main function of the card is to record the basic information of the elderly. With this card, you can enjoy some preferential policies of the local government for the elderly, such as free bus ride, waiting for medical treatment, discounts or free tickets in parks or some museums or libraries. These aging policies vary with the degree of economic development in different places. Areas with fast economic development and strong economic foundation have wider policies and more preferential items, while areas with slow or backward development have few or no preferential policies.

In any case, these cards also reflect the state's policy support for the elderly and the state's care for the elderly in their later years. It also reflects the country's care for the elderly.

Conditions for applying for an old-age card:

1, if the elderly are over 70 years old, they can get a bus card for the elderly free of charge.

2. All the elderly who have reached the age of 70 (subject to the month) can apply for the bus card for the elderly.

3. When you apply for a card, you must bring your valid certificate and a 2-inch bareheaded recent photo.

4. Returned overseas Chinese who have reached the age of 60 can apply for an old-age bus old-age certificate with their Returned Overseas Chinese Certificate and their valid identity documents.

5. If the old-age certificate meets the handling conditions, each person will be limited to one.

To sum up: you can get a senior citizen card by bus, visit various parks for free, and some can enjoy preferential treatment for the elderly, which is a very good kind of citizen treatment.
