453 sally speirsStudents over the age of 25, should be entitled to the same benefits as younger students,why are older students any different from younger students. its hard enough financially to return to education, never mind being faced with discrimination due being an older student.

467 Julian SchwanitzThe public transport fares for young students are already overpriced, the fact that "mature" students don't even count as such is outrageous! When you're a student you get discount on nearly anything in this country, but the travel costs are the important point and there we're left alone...

469 Lynne ReillyI gave up a full-time job with a salary of around £23,000 to attend university. A discounted bus pass would have been a godsend. The policy is aimed at 'hooking in' young people and getting them used to using public transport but I think that older people could and should be persuaded to change their travel patterns

482 Grant MacKenzieLRT are an unreliable shambles at the best of times. To not offer this discount to students over 25 is a clear-cut case of age discrimmination. This could not be more out of line.

486 AnonymousAge discrimination in education and employemtn is now outlawed by EU Directive. It should also be outlawed in relation to tranposrt discounts for all the reasons outined above.
487 Kate HelmeI received lothian bus vouchers when opening an RBS student account......and I can't use them as I am 26! It's a rediculous policy!

496 Johannah BarryI have just the same academic financial burdens as a under 25 year old student plus a mortgage. It is incredibly unjust that i cannot have the student bus pass.
