NEARLY 30,000 pensioners in Edinburgh have failed to apply for a new bus pass that allows free travel across Scotland.
The Scottish Executive-run scheme begins next month Mon 6 Mar 2006 and OAPs and disabled passengers will need a new entitlement card to ensure a free ride on any bus route across the country

Not Pensioners, but over 60s. And yes, it's for anywhere in Scotland

Yes, at certain times and only with a bus/travel pass. Some of them can even use train services free.

It's criminal isn't it? - Surely this should be a means tested benefit. Most pensioners these days drive anyway, so why are they given free bus travel as well as their pension?

You can only travel free on the buses in Scotland.

No i think it's only certain areas of Scotland, but soon it will be the whole of Scotland - not sure about the UK.
