Bugger! I like my discount of course, but I also agree that some of us need it a lot less than students & some others. For a start, a lot of people over 60 are still working. If a “senior” has a good/excellent income from work or super, they probably don’t need a discount in public transport.
Are Australia’s public transport discounts for seniors too generous? Are they fair? https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/jun/30/australia-public-transport-seniors-discount?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
