Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.
The peak-hour ban on elderly people with free travel passes should be removed for those attending hospital appointments. An expansion of community access and travel initiatives – such as the active age initiative – should be promoted to allow elderly people to travel and the rules regarding those who accompany them should be relaxed. We should seek additional agreements with other member states in order to allow elderly people to travel through the EU.
