But it seems to me that the free buss pass scheme subsidises a very

Those who made the lifestyle choice to live close enough to the

Idiot! What about those who use the bus to go one stop because they
have no hope of walking that distance?

Such people will also have to stand because the pass holder is using the
seat. They are A Pensioner You Know, and not some scrounging disabled
person - anyway, that passenger can't really be disabled, else she'd
have a wheelchair. And why would a disabled person be travelling to
work/university/shops, and not just staying at home? And just look at
those **** school **** children. Shouldn't let them on the normal buses,
they **** spoil it for every **** other person with their sitting
quietly reading Metro/books. And did you see the bus driver? They should
send Them all back where They came from. Did anyone see where I put my
copy of the Daily Express?
