Plymouth People First is a speaking up organisation that supports adults with a Learning Disability to self-advocate on different life issues. Transport, in particular bus usage, is an issue strongly felt and discussed by our members. 2. Plymouth City Council distributes free bus passes to many different community groups within our locality. People who are blind or over the age of eighty may travel for free on the buses from any time; adults with a learning disability have to wait until 9:30 in the morning to use theirs and cannot use it after 11pm.This has a serious effect on people wishing to access training or employment opportunities. Most employers want their staff to start at 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning, not after 10am. Many of our members live off benefits and paying travel costs before 9:30 uses a lot of their weekly income. 3. The terms and conditions of the bus pass’ usage are set by the local authority. They have said changing the terms will cost them five million pounds. The Government set out in the white paper Valuing Employment Now (2010) aims to get people with learning disabilities into paid employment. Limiting the terms of when the pass can be used when other community groups have freer rein contradicts this. 4. Our local bus company, Plymouth Citybus, is also removing numerous services from around the city. This is affecting many of our members who cannot access the community after 5pm as that is when their last bus home runs. This impacts adults with a learning disability being seen as active citizens as they cannot go out at night or work until 5pm as they have no way of getting home independently. 5. For a short while Plymouth Citybus offered our users cheaper bus travel before 9:30 if they showed their bus pass but this was quickly rescinded. Plymouth People First self-advocates would like to see free bus passes made available to adults with a learning disability or bus companies offer reduced fares to particular groups that will enable more people to travel independently and access new life opportunities. 24 July 2012 5 Written evidence submitted by Age UK The Environmental Audit Committee has launched an inquiry into ‘Transport and the accessibility of public services’. This inquiry will reflect on the progress that has been made to improve accessibility since the Social Exclusion Unit’s 2003 report “Making the Connections”, which detailed the link between transport and social exclusion. The Committee is particularly interested in the implications of Government funding cuts and increases in public transport fares. They want to understand whether this agenda has been sidelined and if so the future role of Government policy. While the inquiry rightly focuses on access to vital public services, it should not be forgotten that many private services are also essential, particularly banks and supermarkets. Age UK has therefore included evidence that refers to both public and private essential services in this response. Key points and recommendations: • The government needs to make social isolation a priority in public transport policy and funding, alongside their priorities of economic growth and cutting carbon emissions. They should encourage greater co-operation and co- ordination across public, private and community transport providers. • The national bus concession must remain free and universal. • All local transport authorities must make the most of accessibility planning in transport planning, particularly when spending decisions are being made. They have to be able to react to the needs and views of older people and promote co-operation between all potential transport partners, including community transport and active travel. • The health sector should consider transport when they are planning services. Accessibility planning should be part of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. • National government should assess the implementation of accessibility planning and set a standard to ensure local authorities are meeting their transport duties. • The relationship between transport and poverty needs to be better understood and acted upon by all levels of government. • The internet has an important part to play in providing a range of services but it should be seen as complementary and not as a way of reducing investment in our well established transport infrastructure. How are the Government’s current transport policies affecting the accessibility of public services? The government’s transport strategy prioritises economic growth and cutting carbon emissions1. Alongside these aims they need to make reducing social isolation a priority in public transport policy and funding. This means making transport planning decisions that take into account the accessibility of essential services for vulnerable people, including older people. There are 1.2 million people over 50 who are severely excluded2. Often referred to in terms of being cut off from the mainstream of society, the term recognises disadvantage is not just about being poor; but also being unable to access things in 6 life that most of society takes for granted. This includes having a properly equipped, well maintained home; close friends and regular company; stimulating activity; and easy access to important services such as GPs, shops and post offices. Being able to get out and about is what makes many of these activities possible. Transport is vital to leading an active and independent life and for those without access to a car reliable public transport is essential. Older people and younger people on average make proportionately more trips by public transport (bus, coach and rail) than other age groups. For older people this coincides with a decline in the number of people holding a car driving licence with age. They are therefore disproportionately affected by the Government’s public transport policy. Buses are the most popular form of public transport for older people and they are used frequently. Thirty-nine per cent of people over 60 take a bus at least once a week3. The Government’s commitment to the national bus concession in primary legislation and recently in Parliament is an important cornerstone to accessibility of public services for older people. Free bus travel has been a success and remains very popular with older people. In 2009, 76 per cent of people aged over 60 in Great Britain had received or registered for a concessionary pass4. Age UK research found that the concession allows older people to reach key services without having to make difficult financial decisions, as highlighted in the quotes from older people in Box 1. Notably, ownership and use of the concessionary bus pass is highest for those on the lowest income5. Box 1: Comments from Age UK’s report Getting out and about: keeping buses free and reliable: Male, 61 ‘I couldn’t afford to travel by bus every day before. I would have bought one ticket for one day and be done with it, but now I find myself just using it whenever. Now I am not concerned about getting value for money’ Male, 77 ‘Now I have free bus travel, I don’t need a car. I gave it up… and all the costs and worries of it breaking down and all that’ However, for those people that rely on public transport it can still be more difficult to access key services if you do not have transport readily available. A significant percentage of people perceive difficulties getting to amenities without a car: 44 per cent said they had difficulty getting to the doctor/hospital; 23 per cent getting to the corner shop/supermarket; and 18 per cent getting to the post office6. In addition, the availability of public transport differs significantly between communities. In urban areas the percentage of people who live within 13 minutes of a regular (hourly) bus is around 95 per cent, in rural areas it is 50 per cent7.

    4 September 2018 Transport and Travel in Scotland 2017 This bulletin provides the results of the Transport and Travel related questions asked in the Scottish Household Survey (including the travel diary) and uses data from a range of sources to provide context. The survey and travel diary had around 9,800 respondents in 2017. This publication is split into 4 broad themes: Personal travel Motor vehicles, traffic and driving Public transport and aviation Walking and cycling Overview of travel trends in Scotland Rail and air passenger numbers, as well as car traffic and distance cycled, are estimated to have increased between 2007 and 2017. Rail showed the greatest percentage increase (31%). Bus passenger numbers showed a substantial decline over ten years (22%) [Figure 1]. Sources: DfT, ORR, CAA, Ferry operators (Not all National Statistics). Notes: Rail and bus passengers based on financial year, 2017 bus figure is provisional. Ferry does not include figures for passenger numbers on the Corran ferry service, Car, motorcycle and bicycle traffic estimates indicate the broad level of traffic, so year-on-year comparisons should be made with caution as they are estimated based on a small cross-section of Scottish roads, particularly for cycle traffic.

Silvaa,b,c aDepartamento de Ingeniería de Transporte y Logística, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile. bInstituto de Economía, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile. cInstituto Sistemas Complejos de Ingeniería (ISCI) December 19, 2019 Abstract Fare-free public transportation has recently gained attention from policymakers and has been proposed as a measure to reduce pollution and road congestion in several cities around the world. We investigate the impact of fare-free public transport on travel behavior by randomly assigning a pass to workers in Santiago (Chile) that allowed them unlimited travel for two weeks. The main impact of fare-free public transport is a 21% increase in the total number of trips made during off-peak periods. Two-thirds of the effect occurs during weekday off-peak periods and is mostly explained by a 24% increase in trips made by public transport. We find no evidence of mode or period substitution and that the effect on public transport trips is entirely explained by trips that use the subway. Keywords: Public transport pricing, Fare-free public transport JEL Codes: R48, H23 1.
