[access-uk] Re: Free off-peak national bus travel?


It does seem to imply that the travel passes are only going to be used during off peak periods of the day.

On the Isle of Man, where I live we have had bus passes, which will also work on the trains or electric trams in areas where they run, and these are available at any time of day at all. However, foray number of years I used mine to travel to work at around 8.15 a.me. and have fallen fawn of at least one bus driver who said that he would not accept this pass at that particular time. He argue me out that the pass was not usable at that early hour. I had to pay my bus fair and get a refund later. As nearly all of the other passes issued were only available between 9.30 and 4.30 each day I suppose there might have been some excuse for his confusion.

If it does we won't be able to travel in our own areas during busy times, if that's the idea I think I'll tell Gordie where to stick it.

Me and you both, Mel.  And many other working blind people.  I'm in the
process of trying to find out whether this new initiative will replace
existing locally run and funded concession schemes.  None of the
coverage I've come across makes this plain.
Cheers now.

I will actually be worse off with this new scheme as I travel before
9:30 in the mornings.  They are replacing the half price pass I
currently have with this off peak one.

This is of course one of the many benefits of living in Scotland. Blind
people have had this for some time and it becomes gerally available for
pensioners and other disabled people from next month.

Listening to the budget and just heard, I think, our Chief Accountant,
err, sorry Chancelor, say there is to be free off peak national bus
travel.

Maybe those who really know can tell us how good this news really is?
