Why should over 60s get free bus travel?
12:18pm Thursday 15th May 2008
Why do all people over the age of 60 get free bus travel within England? I am a full time student who does not earn any money and I have to save up and pay for my bus pass to get to and from college. This is crazy as there is a high number of over 60s who have access to a car and would never use a bus pass untill they were unable to drive.
