Fury over bus fare for pensioners
 

Pensioners are 'deeply unhappy' about plans to make them pay for some bus journey on the Isle of Man.

How can 'increasing' fares for pensioners lead to "Taking one bus out of circulation would save £250,000,"?
Are they suggesting withdrawing a route? Does this route depend solely on pensioners? What about other passengers? A bus has to run regardless of how many passengers (and I doubt that any operator runsduplicates these days).
When did you last see a Duplicate?

(As a child I thought Dupilicate (sic) was a destination . . . )

Just as, during the War, British newspapers reported that 'German bombers dropped their bombs at random' which was followed by accounts in German newspapers 'Random destroyed by German bombers' . . .

These penny pinchers do not realise that for every penny they save they lose a pound, and then they will end up closing the route because no one will be able to afford to use it, crazy.
