Makes me p**s, just because they are over 60 they get free travel, even if they have a private pension that pays twice my annual sallary, they've already paid off their mortgage, it's descrimination against young people!

Let me think, Cheap Buses, Free Prescriptions, investment in Rail, all paid for by Westminster (IE the English Tax payer). Wales a better place to live me thinks.

No it's not cheap because it's in wales and not england. It's cheap because it's run by the city council, and it's in there best intrest to make it cheap so they get people off there roads. (oh and they have valley lines to compete with, who also charge a stupidly cheap ticket price) now edit that to the UK▸ taxpayer, and you'd be on the right train of thought.

http://www.ctpg.co.uk/ctpg_news2.htmThey've got some super cool new buses though. Even my 80+ year old Mum was raving about them (and yes, I know, she doesn't pay either).

Ok if it's nothing to do with being in Wales, only that the City Council run the Buses, just tell me where you GET CHEAP BUSES in England, any town will do.
