Ms Anne Graham:

We are not proposing any discrimination between a free travel pass holder and a fare-paying passenger on the services that we provide. We are conscious, however, of the funding associated with providing free travel on public transport because it has an implication for our budgets. There is an implication when the free travel budget is not increased to cater for the provision for free travel pass holders. We are not taking any action or any decision to change the access for free travel pass holders for access to our services.
