I can't afford a car, so I walk, cycle or bus everywhere.
The bus costs almost a pound a mile so it is seen as a treat for me.
A yearly ticket is 1000 or if your a student you can buy a £12 bus I'd card every year and get a yearly ticket that costs 750. This seams far too expensive.
Yet I see many pensioners who run two cars using the bus to get into town or to the airport totally free despite being well off. I think their would be uproar if a 20 pound admin fee a year was applied to these bus passes. In London a year ticket is 3k but anyone over 60 gets unlimited tube and bus despite 100000s of them still in full time work.
Just seams like the young and poor are getting a very raw deal to win grey votes.
