    I think a gradual rise in the age of the state pension age is fair enough and inevitable as we live longer.

    Id also support some redistribution of some things in terms of pension age benefits.

    I support the free bus pass at 60 benefit. It keeps people out of the house and socialising and helps those traditionally on low incomes etc

    But at the same time in work, we have some healthy 60 year olds on cracking wages buzzing around the city for free whilst we have people in the early 20s on much lower wages paying a decent chunk every week to commute.

    Personally id shift it. Free bus travel from 65+, and half price bus travel for people up to 30 or whatever.
    In England, a free bus pass is available when one reaches State Pension age rather than an arbitrary age before then.
    Unfortunately, such passes do not cover Wales and vice versa. I can travel gratis from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Mousehole but not to Caaardiff.
