How do you keep your bus pass and phone handy

Locally there are few busses but have been away a few times in the last few months and have been using my pass a lot. I've seen people with their pass on a lanyard, and having it in a little case but don't fancy a lanyard and discovered about the case when I picked up a lady's who had dropped hers in the queue
I've been using an old phone Cas which has a long strap. I can pop the pass in a little pocket on the outside, but my phone doesn't fit it any more and I use it for maps and for the bus tracker app so. Would like a bigger (but still small) bag that I could easily access to pop it away safely when I saw the bus coming which had a little pocket i could easily pop the pass back into when I have got on, with no fuss, don't want to hold the queue up while I fumble to put it away safely and pack up my bags. It would be useful on the train or tube too, I once. Lost a ticket in between the tube station and the train station

Henetha - Yes, Kipling bags are great. I also have a raincoat with a roomy zipped internal breast pocket which is perfect for phone, debit card and bus pass.

That's good, Elrel. I'm always looking for jackets with inside pockets and was delighted to find one recently in Next.
Manufacturers please note, - more inside pockets for women's jackets please!

@Witzend yes it is jolly hard buying online isn't it. I've been looking online to see the variety available but am reluctant to splurge on a good one in case it doesn't fit the bill at least with regard to zips lol
