The pass is a pain for the bus companies. They get 35p for each pass

It caused real pain when it was cut and normal fares have had to be
adjusted for it and services suffered.


It's a pain for the local authority, too, according to our councillor.

But hey, it's all part of bribing us with our own money, so we feel
good.

And a way of avoiding paying a decent state pension.
