Bus and train fares.?

Question

I was wondering if anyone can help me! What is the cut off age for train and bus fares? i'm sick of being charged an adult rate when i'm only 16! :@

Thanks x

Answer 1

In the UK it depends on the bus or rail company and sometimes if it is a subsidized service (the council or a local uthority pay for it to run) it is up to whoever is paying for the service to run.

Generally In the UK it is 14 but some county councils will have some sort of scheme to allow students still in education to continue to travel at half fare.

Bus companies tend to be more lenient about the age in which adult fare should be payed whereas train companies tend to be more strict and ask for proof of age etc or charge adult fare at a younger age.  This is becuase train companies are expected to meet government targets in profit as well as other things so that they can use the money to improve stations, timetables, more staff etc.
