It's kind of insane they were time restricted before. Having a disabilities doesn't mean you can always choose when you have to travel.

A good move for sure.

There are big issues facing the country but sometimes it's the little things that matter

Amazing! My partner gets a free bus pass because he has epilepsy, but can't use it to get to work so what's the point? This is great news.

The point is to pretend to do something while not doing anything

Good, always felt a bit second class citizen. “You can use the busses but not when they’re needed by the people we actually care about”

Busses are busy in peak hours because people need to travel to work at those hours. Disabled people get free bus passes to expand their travel options given they’re much more limited. But god forbid a disabled person actually has a job and needs to travel at peak times, clearly the government wouldn’t want to encourage that…

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
