Free Bus * UK - Passes are 'inefficient'
Councils say they do not have enough funds to pay bus companies
London,UK -BBC News -6 Aug 2009: -- Providing free bus travel for all pensioners is an "inefficient" use of public funds, a report has concluded... The study by the consultancy Oxera for the Local Government Association says councils would be better off targeting those who were most in need... Free bus passes for over-60s in England were introduced by the government in 2008, but many councils say the funding arrangements leave them out of pocket... But the LGA said ending such a "popular policy" would be "problematic"... Labels: free bus passes
