When the Tories defund public services and then tell the working public that the reason they have no bus is because a pensioner took their seat!

Hi, thanks for posting this and including the link.

I have now signed petition.

I was told by local bus co. that disabled pass holders who do paid work "shouldn't expect to get the bus for free"!

Apparently it's "bad enough" that we get free travel at all.

*sigh*

Your local bus co' presumably believes that disabled pass holders in paid work can choose to get on their bikes? Or walk to work? #Disability limits choice, which is one of the many reasons why being disabled makes life more expensive. #Ableism

I agree 100%.

The local bus company have some pretty worrying and outright discriminatory beliefs and practices.
