Over 60s also have free bus travel Scotland wide. However, many rural areas are extremely disadvantaged with almost non existent public transport. The latest travel passes for under 22s will greatly benefit youngsters like my granddaughter who needs 2 buses (full fare) each way to attend college. Not every household has a car.

Very much elsewhere. All people of State Pension age in England have free travel on local buses across the whole of the country. Pensioners living in the 32 London boroughs also enjoy free travel on the Underground, the Overground, the Docklands Light Railway, trams and most local train services. They are also eligible for discounted fares on the Thames Riverbus services and the Emirates Air Line (that's the cable car, not the aircraft operator).
