If YOU have a Bus Pass

We live in the best city in Britain, London and for all its faults and sky high prices that saying "when you're tired of London, you're tired of life" definitely applies.


We went for a led walk today from Tower Hill to Surrey Quays with our pensioners group on a lovely calm bright day.


This is all thanks to the wonderful freedom pass which allows us to travel on the tube, some rail and overground services along with the buses.


We have no restriction on time we can use it anytime..thanks Boris.


For all these people who tells us we shouldn't be entitled to the free pass, they forget that when we are out and about we spend money on other things. Our group of 13 all bought lunch today which helps the economy.


If these same people think we would go out just as much if we had to pay our fares, in our case anyway we certainly couldn't afford it.


In fact, last week I lost my precious pass, I must have dropped it on the bus and had to get a replacement which cost me £10, but couldn't do without it.

Here in southeast London, we have no tubes and can't use our freedom passes on the trains before 9.30.

Here in Scotland you get your bus pass when you are 60 !!


End of - free for whole of Scotland

My bus pass covers me for any local bus after 0930 a.m. anywhere in England, the tram from Wolverhampton to Birmingham and all trains within West Midlands County.

Not exactly "All over 60" It is a condition that you must live in a London borough.

That's explained on the application form.

In the context of the London Councils Freedom Pass and the Over 60 Oyster card, it's pretty clear that we are referring to Londoners. I wouldn't expect anybody to seriously expect anything different.
