Red buses
In message , Nick
writes Yes, I know lots of Freedom pass owners, many of whom drive and never use it; of the rest, most just use the local buses (local as in Bexley/Bromley/Dartford/Woolwich). I would be very interested to see the newspaper reaction if it was announced tomorrow that Freedom passes were to be replaced by Bexley + Bluewater only passes for holders living in Bexley....... :-)) Kingston and Heathrow I don't think pensioners in Bexley have much interest or inclination to travel to either of those places ;-) Not even Heathrow? Ah, that's interesting and I didn't know that - not valid beyond Dartford for Bluewater by bus? I am quite surprised at that. I am sure pensioners around here would love to stay on the 96 to Bluewater and not be chucked off at Dartford. I know you're only using a figure of speech but they're not in any sense "chucked off"; they merely have to pay a fare from the boundary! So pensioners in Bexley can travel to Uxbridge for free, but have to pay to go a few miles to Bluewater, hmm! Boundaries have to be *somewhere* and they will always result in winners and losers. -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
