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.”
