    Is that a socialist measure?

    No, but it is a worthwhile reform benefit that now covers the majority of the Scottish workers.

    The bus companies keep a record of how often and the distance the free bus pass is used and reclaim it from the Scottish government.

    It is a useful reform measure for huge section of a huge section of the general public, who don’t have access to cars or the cash to get about.

    It covers the whole country,so provide you are able bodied enough you can have a wee party to yourself.They docate fro disaled passemges also.

    A great public service methinks, as as I managed to terrify relatives who thought they’d seen the last of me.😡

    It is a joke

    None here are calling it socialism but as Matt says it is a reform welcomed by many of our fellow workers who do not consider it a joke but a much-needed attempt to alleviate their poverty.

    Now it is in place, just as it is politically difficult to dismantle the NHS free healthcare at the point of delivery, it is proving just a problem to those who seek to withdraw free public transport.
