Can anyone help please.
Hubbies been trying to add a U.K. senior bus pass to his iPhone wallet but all he gets is a list of Chinese transit passes, tried on my iPhone and I get the exact same thing.
We’re both on iOS 15.5 and all regions are correct.

Does the agency that issues the Senior Bus Pass say that it can be stored in a smartphone's wallet?
I have done a little research and the simple answer is no. TfL, for security reasons, do not allow the actual Oyster card to be transferred into a smart phone or smart watch. What they do allow is for you to pay for travel with a contactless credit card stored in your smart phone. Unfortunately, payments made in this manner cannot have any concessions (senior, child, etc.) associated with them, so your senior discount would not apply to TfL payments. A Senior Oyster card, with your senior concession attached, can be registered for automatic top-up from your credit card, though.
Likewise with your Senior Buss Pass. It is unlikely that all of the issuing Councils will go to the trouble and expense of setting up such a service when TfL have decided not to. They also likely do not want to deal with riders who are not able to use Apple Wallet-based service cards because the iPhone's battery has gone flat.
I hope this has helped.

i hope you receive this well. after, having questions answered it seems. just thought i'd share anyways.
We don’t actually know, we just presumed it would be compatible.
Out of curiosity I tried to add an Oyster card (I don’t have one but nearly the whole of London uses them) and even that came back with no results.
Good morning. You are very welcome.
