livingstone (The Mayor) has made a BIG MISTAKE that will haunt him or
his childrens, children in years to come, I beleive that anybody over
the age of 50 should travel free because they are more likely to have
made a contribution to society than some snotty 15 year old kid.

I suspect part of the thinking behind it was that on the buses when
the school kids all pile in its virtually impossible for the driver to
know who's paid or who hasn't so make the drivers life easier and just
let them on. Though I suspect this will lead to more problems than it
solves.
