THE letter from Ruth McCullough (Have Your Say, March 4) regarding remarks from Wilts & Dorset on free over-60s travel, was so right.

Once again this ‘Go-Ahead’ company and MD Alex Carter are whingeing about free travel.

The answer to this is to let another bus company take over to give us all a better service.

Since January 2008 the service has been awful in the Ferndown area, and I am sure many other areas.

To register travel a machine could be fitted like the London buses have, but to do this there would be a cost, so the shareholders and top management would not approve. However, the true cost of over-60s travel could then be seen by all. Then perhaps this ‘Go Ahead’ company would stop complaining at every opportunity.
