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.

Yes, all full-time students should be entitled to free travel as:
a) they *have* to go out to school, college, etc.
b) Uni students are already racking up huge debts
c) Students generally have less money than OAPs

Which perhaps implies that OAPs also shouldn't get free travel either. It
would make for more sensible use of transport and reduce carbon
footprints.
