@myroslavapetsa I would say the vast majority of pensioners do feel a tangible benefit from free public transport. Exception.

@PaulNiland @myroslavapetsa @alsimplicio Never a good policy to give away goods and services. Money was invented to increase efficiency.

@andersostlund Not sure about other countries, pensioners always have had free bus travel in the UK.@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio -
@PaulNiland@andersostlund@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio I missed start of this but I know MANY pensioners who desperat need & value free bus -
@CommonSenseNo1@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio Planned economy with free services was tested in the USSR. Didn't work very well. -
@andersostlund That is not a sensible comparison.@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio -
@CommonSenseNo1@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio Free services = overconsumption, inefficiency and waste. Proven many times. -
@andersostlund I agree with you on a heck of lot but on this I am afraid you are out of touch.@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio -
@CommonSenseNo1@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio I guess that was your closing argument as it lacked relevance to the topic? -
@andersostlund It was totally relevant! I think U R out of touch with subject you are discussing!@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio - 5 more replies

@andersostlund Your response doesn't address my point though. Exception doesn't prove the rule.@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio -
@PaulNiland@myroslavapetsa@alsimplicio You could give away all kinds of goods and services people "need", same result every time....
