I refer to the proposed plan to discontinue certain bus routes around Dorchester.

Would it not be a good idea for, older people holding concessionary bus passes, to pay for their passes, with an affordable annual fee? (I am an OAP).

In the case of hardship, perhaps, the fee could be paid by a direct debit, on a monthly basis.

This surely would surely guarantee the bus companies a cash flow and help maintain a much needed bus service, around the town.
