Direction of Travel

The lifting of the early morning restrictions on the older person's bus pass in Manchester is obviously to be welcomed. But why is that not happening everywhere? And why have there ever been such restrictions outside London, when there are none such there?

Both the Freedom Pass and the Oyster card should be made national, as stops on the journey to free public transport. The Government has stopped pretending that a sovereign state with its own free floating, fiat currency was financially dependent either on taxation or on borrowing. To fight wars, it never has pretended that.
