Re: Bus Fares?

As for bus passes...I would be quite happy to use a bus pass that required a flat rate fare.
I often travel before the bus pass can be used so I frequently pay my fare.
I do not expect to get something for nothing, but then I still pay taxes which contribute to the subsidised fare..So it is not FREE.

I get no other perks for being of pensionable age. I pay dental charges.
I take no prescribed meds...yes I can have a free eye test each year, but it is four years since my last one.
So the government do not give me very much
