Rumbles celebrates free bus pass age staying at 60

Posted by Media Team | Updated 2018-08-02

Celebrating the news that the eligibility age for the National Concessionary Travel Scheme will not change, Scottish Liberal Democrat transport spokesperson Mike Rumbles MSP said:

“I am very happy indeed that this scheme designed by a Liberal Democrat minister in the coalition government is not going to be altered by the SNP.

“Encouraging all those over 60 to use the bus is a win win situation. Individuals benefit, our transport system benefits but above all the Environment wins as we continue to encourage people out of their cars and onto our buses.”

Offering New Hope for Health

The SNP cannot keep using the pandemic as an excuse for the issues the NHS is facing. 15 years of mismanagement have brought our health service to its knees. Patients and staff desperately need new hope and deserve better than ministers who seem determined to instead turn their attentions towards independence. New hope is exactly what the Scottish Liberal Democrats will offer at the elections this May.
