In a descent society, the citizens who are fit and well should care about those who are very young, very old and disabled. Providing these disadvantaged people with free bust transport is a means of showing this care.

Buses have to provide a public service and run routs/timetables to deliver this service. Frequently the buses are rather empty outside commuting times and fares that are provided free are normally provided outside theses peak times when the buses would otherwise travel round half empty.

Thus the free travel actually does not cost society (the buses would have to travel even if empty) but does benefit the more vulnerable citizens greatly.

Should elderly receice free bus rides?

Providing free bus rides for the elderly can enhance their mobility, promoting independence and social engagement. It can also reduce transportation costs for seniors on fixed incomes and encourage public transport use, which benefits the environment. However, funding such programs requires careful consideration of budget constraints and overall public transport sustainability. Ultimately, the decision should balance the needs of the elderly with the financial realities of the transportation system.
