No. It's bad enough as it is in the evening peak with buses full of freebies and no seats for paying customers.
I imagine Cornwall made their decision because much of the county has an irregular bus service. That makes sense.
I totally agree, my home city I don't think has a 24/7 policy yet the local bus company accepts them 24/7 which results in no seats for paying passengers.
If the county has a irregular bus service then I could understand but when it's marketered as up to every 10 minutes then no!
How about a compromise? Allow 24 hour travel to Disabled persons who are in, or looking for work. In fact I would go further and allow free national rail travel for this group as people with disabilities are woefully underrepresented in the workplace.
The best thing where there is a frequent bus service is it is only valid after 1000 nationwide in line with a number of rail railcards, with use before being subjected to a £1 charge.
