to be annoyed that pensioners are discriminated against getting on the bus before 10

[mattsmith]

This bus pass really annoys me that it only works after 10am, lots of pensioners still work full time and need the bus to get to work.

I may live in a place with only one bus, and often a minibus at that, but at least people don't fight, tut or stake a claim to seat.

When attempting to fold my buggy the passengers told me to leave it up and use the wheelchair/ elderly seat. They fuss over the children and chat to every one on the bus including random strangers. I have see the bus driver tell a passenger who had no change to "pay me on the way back" and on more than one occasion the driver has left his/her seat to help me on or off, as has another passenger.

I am glad I don't live on a busy route.

I agree with pp rather than moaning about pensioners free bus passes we should be moaning about the extortionate prices of bus fairs it usually works out cheaper to get a taxi bus companies are pricing themselves out of the market due to their greed !

YY to the expensive bus fares.

A group of 2 should get a taxi and 3 should def!

Hmm, am I the only one expecting a MN hates old people story in the news soon?!

It's worse that people can't use a disability bus pass before 10. Parents of disabled children who have a bus pass can't use it to take them to school.
