Default London - Looks Like Fares Going Up

Oh I can see the political risks but I don't think that it is
invincible. There are plenty of people who think kids should pay, that
they should walk to school and not use buses, that all kids are....

If free travel for teenagers (or other children) were so clearly a "good
thing" I would expect it to be common in other large cities, in the UK
and elsewhere. Is it?

I have made no study of the question but happen to have noticed in
recent years that there is not free bus travel for unaccompanied
children in New York or Paris.

Anyone know the position in other cities for children and teens? Or was
it that Ken was the only one marching in step?
