I think bus passes should be means tested as a lot of older people can afford the fares.

My partner and I got our Oyster bus and train passes at 60. My partner makes great use of his, me not so much as I use the car for weekly shop ect.
My good friend who is one road outside greater London did not get it, does not drive snd would have made good use of it.

Why not wait till people are retired I think?
Or link to benefits?

The N.I. Wales and Scotland government allow their 60 year olds to have the free bus pass when they reach 60,why do the English have to wait till they are 65?
