Well, less children are likely to be travelling at that time. Less arguments with passengers claiming they are under 16, which can turn nasty and of course, the final and most important reason, more revenue for late night services.


Thanks :)

The point that you make about young people claiming that they are younger than they are to obtain child fares and having no pass to prove their entitlement is unfortunately common in many places these days at any time of the day.

BT don't offer a proof-of-age pass such as the one to be found in Greater Manchester, which is part of the problem.

It's an increasingly common practice to have a time limit on half fares, the idea being that anyone under 16 shouldn't be out that late anyway.
