good news for stoke on trent bus pass holders

In Scotland the buspass (from age 60), has no time limits at all, and has been in use for 20 years without causing any problems for commuting workers. It covers local and longdistance buses in all parts of Scotland, 24/7.

I suppose it will help older people who have say a 9:00am medical or other appointment.

It wouldn’t work well here as the city buses are still packed with workers at 9:00 am who start a little later to avoid the school rush.

I am glad it's only for a limited time. If people who are inconvenienced going to work it should stop. I hold a bus pass and can shop or meet friends after 9.30 am.
If I need to meet earlier I drive.

Bit out of my way even with a bus pass
