All 60-yr-olds get bus pass
As the laws currently stand those living in England do not qualify for a bus pass until they reach the age of 65. In Wales Scotland and Ireland, the age is 60. Are the four countries combined all part of Gt. Britain? Yes they are, the English are being badly let down in this current system. We contribute fairly and squarely, for what good reason do we have to wait 5 years more than our counterparts to get a free bus pass? this is discrimination and it needs to be addressed forthwith.
Why is this important?
It is discrimination against the English. The bus pass age is not consistent throughout Gt. Britain, and it should be. England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, should all have free bus passes for the 60- year- old's and above.
