You can buy a pass that gives unlimited travel in London - similar to
the Freedom pass.

But a bus pass is free and covers London buses 24/7.

If you mean a Freedom pass, it covers more than buses.

It isn't a Freedom Pass and only covers buses.

What else would it cover? Most places don't have an underground or local
train services.

Do you ever read posts before replying?

Have you realised the difference between a bus pass (issued by councils
in England outside London) and a Freedom Pass yet?

How would the PP (living on the south coast) ever be entitled to a
Freedom Pass?

There aren't any tubes on the south coast. Local services are only buses.
