Rejected petition unfair elderly coach discount cards not covering travel to airports
More details
National express advertise a third off discount on all coach travel throughout the uk for senior citizens for an annual cost of £10.00. However the discounts do not cover travel to airports such as gatwick.
No explaination is given on line for this exception. Many elderly travel abroad and the cost of actually getting to the airport heavily increases the overall costs of the holiday expense.
An end is needed to the continual exemption culture that penalises the ageing process in society and fails to honour their contribution by providing token allowances.
