Older people (aged 65 or plus, regardless of living with dementia) are entitled to use urban and semi-urban collective public transportation free of charge. In relation to interstate collective transportation system, there is the “Free Pass” (Passe Livre) program. It is a national program that guarantees free fares for people who have proven to be in financial need (total household per capita monthly income lesser than one national minimum wage) and who live with disability (mental, physical etc.) (Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure, 2019).
