Exeter couple lead way in campaign against scrapping free travel for pensioners using hospital bus service

Exeter Express and Echo: "“By using the bus service people are cutting down on vehicles entering Exeter with all the congestion and air pollution that this incurs.

“Parking at the hospital can be a nightmare at the best of times without extra cars needing to use it, and in some cases, particularly at certain times of day, patients can find themselves late for their appointments or even worse missing them altogether.

“This is another case of Exeter hitting the elderly and perhaps less well off, we are absolutely astounded at the county’s callous actions.”"
