Standardise the age when people can get a bus pass across the UK to 60.
It is unfair that parts of the UK become eligible at 60 whereas other people have to wait until state pension age.
Apart from being very unfair that getting a bus pass after the age of 60 depends on where you live. It makes no financial or environmental sense. Buses are not fully utilised during the working day – therefore it would cost ‘nothing’ to allow a pensioner take up an unoccupied seat. And it could also reduce pollution, if pensioner does not use a car but uses a bus instead (assuming they have access to a car).
