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.


And me. Though at 3p a throw I was able to make as many journeys as I
had time for without spending all my pocket money. Then the incentive
was RTs. Now it would be RMs, if only for a few months.
