Interesting. People seem to be assuming that
making travel free for kids will make kids travel
more - that there's elasticity in the market.


I certainly would have used them more if they were free when I was a child.
In fact, I still would. But that's me.

In cold or rainy weather, buses will make far superior places for teenagers
to hang about than outside.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
