I AM against free transport for pensioners. We were quite content to pay half-fare.

The people who should have been given half-fare are students and people on low wages who don't stand a chance of owning a car.

All the recent talk about raising the driving test age to 18 is crazy. I say raise it to 21. Just think of all the young idiots we would get off the roads and onto the buses.
