Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Estimates day on Public Transport.
Public Transport
The hon. Lady has not really touched on the issue of the complexity of buying the best value ticket. I am concerned about the elderly who need to use public transport, whether they travel by bus, coach or train. Is she concerned about the fact that elderly people, in particular, may not be getting value for money or a fair deal, because the system is so complicated that they do not understand how to go through it, and ticket sellers at bus stations or railway stations will not always give them the best-priced ticket?
