Worcester Pensioners Treated Like 2nd Class Citizens
Pensioners living in Worcester are being prevented from using their free bus pass before 9:30am. This is very frustrating for example when trying to get to the doctors or a hospital appointment first thing in the morning. Where is the joined up thinking – I thought we were trying to encourage people to use public transport rather than their cars to get to Worcestershire Royal Hospital?
A proper hassle free bus pass is affordable, pensioners in the nearby local authorities of Wychavon, Malvern, Redditch and Bromsgrove do not have any restrictions on their early morning buses. To reduce congestion and CO2 emissions the Green Party would re-regulate the buses, reduce all bus and train fares by 10% and yes, provide proper free pensioner bus passes without the petty restrictions
