I THINK if you were to ask us pensioners, you would find 99 per cent would not mind putting a sum of money towards our bus passes.

We come from an age when we did not expect free handouts. Unlike the younger generation, we have always had to work and pay our own way.

But I do think before the council does anything, it must ensure the buses are running on a regular basis because at the end of the day, £5 or perhaps even £10 is still a lot of money for us to find out of our meagre pensions.

We will want a good and regular service for our money.
