I don't see why my kids have to pay for transport to go to school, and pensioners don't have to pay.

Hmmm, the kind of argument that gets us nowhere. You could just as easily ask why pensioners should pay for your children.

If I understand correctly each council pays for journeys made in its area.

AIUI, councils get a grant from the Government, in London anyway.

I also made sure my children gave up their seat for an elderly person, disabled person or heavily pregnant woman and I personally will still do that if they need the seat more than me regardless of who has paid.

Well said! It is truly embarassing to see children travelling free occupying seats, especially those marked for the less able, while struggling older people and others stand. Personally, I blame the parents.
