Super Hans Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Doleys can already claim travel costs back if they've gone to an interview, fair enough. Bo I don't see why they should get yet another perk from scrounging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Why should the tax payer fund your travels? This is being run by the bus companies themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This scheme involves a JC+ pass that had been renamed, and is seldom publicised. ---------- Post added 17-12-2012 at 23:06 ---------- In Bonjon's link it says -: "As a part of a government-funded scheme named Bus for Jobs..." part government funded?

Its not enitrely easy, the free pass is only for people who have been unemployed for three months, and no longer than 12 months. When people are having to choose between meals, and heating, any little help should be seen as a good thing. I think that the majority of bus companiies wiill accept the pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
