Do all areas get these?

Being of a certain age I received my renewed bus pass this morning .   I can travel free on buses & trains within the West Midlands  as far as I know .   Never actually used it TBH . 

 Oh and I can drive my sheep through the Bull Ring to market. 

 

[Andy™]

why would you want to go to the bullring?! down that way usually got to take an extra person to stay with the van / drive it around so it doesnt get a parking ticket

 

[Geoff1946]

I'm trying to visualise you driving sheep through the Bullring.

Doesn’t it allow free bus travel anywhere?

If Government and Councils want to reduce car useage, they need to make buses and trains cheaper to use !

So a bus pass is of no use if you travel to see family or the like then, so what’s the point in it? Is it to keep pensioners within confined areas, yet we let others roam free, odd as pensioners by the very nature have probably contributed more to the economic purse than others???

Yes you can travel to family etc  as long as its in the Midlands  and not before 9.30   , so not in the  morning rush hour.  

I guess you could pay to get somewhere early morning   & travel back free.
