Free London Bus Travel

There is a way to travel completely free on London buses - use a wheelchair.

Wheelchair users travel on wheelchair accessible buses completely free of charge and you don't even need to be disabled or have a disabled pass.

The disadvantage to this system is that if too many moneysaving misers take it up you will have to wait a long time for a bus as each one can only carry one wheelchair at a time but it should still be worth it for savings of around £500 pa:D

    This is indeed useful to know for GENUINE wheelchair users, perhaps putting that in the subject header (for wheelchair users), may have been helpful too :)

    Posting threads such as this one without the correct wording opens a whole scam up

    I suspect that there are now 100s of wheel chair users in London and after this thread was posted, I suspect the wheel chair companies had huge orders come in!

    Yes I did, I came across the thread while having a look at some older posts and fancied posting a reply.

    I hope, that wasn't a problem for you??;)
