SIR - Re Alec Suchi's letter (T&A, May 6). Why should it bother him so much about pensioners travelling for free on the buses?

So they should! Bless 'em.

Please be glad for them, it means they can get out and about. A bus journey may be the only pleasure some elderly people get in this tight-fisted world.
