Give the young free bus passes, says Asda chief

Yorkshire Post: "ASDA’s chief executive Andy Clarke is calling for free bus passes for 16 to 24-year-olds to help them travel to job interviews and enable them to commute once they are in work.

Mr Clarke said this is a better option than pushing up wages which could stifle job creation.

Tomorrow the Leeds-based supermarket will publish a new study looking at the impact the financial crisis has had on household incomes over the last five years and the impact it is likely to have over the next five years.

In reaction to the findings, Mr Clarke is calling for public transport subsidies for young people."
