What do you think of the idea of free bus travel for under 16s?
Answers:
I think it's a f***ing ridiculous idea it's bad enough that pensioners get it.
Free bus travel should only be for the under 5's and people with certain disabilities
i think it suck really,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
dammmmmm i have pay like £1.50
uffffffffffff but i am happy the kids can go free
No way. Too many runaways as it is.
I think thats our council tax going up again!!
What on earth do kids under 16 need to have free bus travel for? They get half fare under 14 as it is and they still take up a full seat. Kids under 16 should be accompanied by an adult on all public transport in my opinion, except the school bus obviously.
I'm not keen on the idea at all. They already get free travel to school.
The old age pensioners here in Scotland get free travel.
The only people paying are us poor workers have to pay. I pay £7.40 a day.
Isnt it already free for kids in London?
From my knowledge, they send off and get a free bus/tube pass and if they cause trouble they get it taken away. Its great for poorer families.
Kids dont work and transportation is expensive, poverty is high in London and kids go on public transport to school, I dont have a problem with it, no-one should be denied an education.
As for trouble making kids, they will do that if they pay or not, but in my opinion they will do it less if they have the risk of their free bus pass taken away from them.
No way.. they need to get out and walk around more, get some exercise. Leave the free buses to the pensioners who have worked hard all their lives, they deserve it. ;-)
i dont
i have to children in full time education i think its a good idea and kids do get punished if they misbehave there pass is taken from them its a shame that kids out there spoil it for themselves but thats each individual teach the kids to have respect
because most people under 16 don't have a job! duh!
adults do!
damn i'm sick of these cynical adults that think teens suck. adults were teens too ya know. and yeah some teen's behavior is horrible but I am a well behaved teen and I have to go to school with the rest of these wackos every day so you should be able to deal with a small bus ride. get real.
We in West Midlands have free pensioner passes for after 09.30.
These people are called "twerlys."
This is because at 09.15 they ask the bus driver " are we too early to come on".der yes.
Also our angels under 16 have half price fares not free travel and this half price allowance is paid out by the council.
What is free, bus companies forced to carry them free of charge, or do they get tokens which the bus company redeem. if so how many tokens, or could an unscrupulous bus company redeem tokens for copies of the beano, Es or Heroine or tins of baked beans.
either way the little sods should be at home swatting for their GCSE s or sats or cycling proficiency whatever and leave the busses to the geriatrics who apperciate slow uncomfortable transport as it reminds them of their Pre Mk 1 Ford Capri, which they had from new in 1963 until it died of rust in the MOT of 1966, and indeed whose personal smell of stale urine masks the smell of fresh urine which accompanies the traversal of each speed bump.
I"m against it. Thousands of unruly kids will be taking off everyday when they get ticked off at their families.
