Default Freedom passes unchecked


Do you have any evidence that fraud IS happening on a
massive scale or are you just making assumptions?

In Milton Keynes disabled passes are issued by the
Council following completion of a form by a Registered
Medical Practioner.

Most disabled people who use the buses tend to do so
quite frequently, and are recognised by regular drivers.


Irrelevant. When you get on a bus, you either (a) pay the fare, or (b)
show a valid pass of some description. The only time it is acceptable for
anyone to get on a bus without showing a pass is when they are (a) a
company inspector on duty and in uniform, (b) a driver on his way to or
from the garage and in uniform or (c) a police officer in uniform. (In
this area, police are allowed free travel on or off duty, but if out of
uniform they must show their warrant card).


or (d) An 11-13 year old in London. This group can travel unaccompanied for
free without showing any kind of pass.
