pensioners bus passes
the Government announced last year that pensioners were to get free bus travel from this april but as yet they have not received any imformation on this matter.
Has anyone been told what it will consist of, will it be just local travel or travel in your county.

In my area it's free travel that either starts or ends (or both of course) in the county.
If you already have a bus pass (probably for half price off-peak travel, the usual current arrangement) then you'll get sent details - if you want one for the first time you'll have to ask for details and apply.
