It's not often that i discuss matters on here but i believe it's worth a blog, as many may or not now that due to circumstances i find myself, shall we say in need of making savings, what i find is that the concession pass is in general dished out to the wrong people, many people can afford to travel by bus and i certainly understand that elderly people and the disabled who are financially poor should have free passes, than there are the unemployed and people who are in work but are at the lower end of the wage scale, shouldn't we have a system that's fairer and help the people who need it, with thanks to Chris Speed at First the amount of concessions is about 50% to fare payers in the Ipswich area, and about 35% in Norwich, currently local government in Suffolk are giving the bus companies around a 25% rebate, so on a fare from my current area which is £3 single, First would receive only 75p and then we moan at companies who pull out of country services.
