Don't you think elderly people deserve free public transportation?Don't you think elderly people deserve free public transportation?
Elderly people are getting old and have weak bones. It's harder to travel on feet. And it might be hard to get money. All should be kind and generous and give them free bus rides. No matter how much space they take or how mean they are, they're getting old and at the end of their days.
We frequently hear discussions regarding society not taking good enough care of the Elderly. Based on what I saw in the seniors and their struggles, I think that providing them with free public transportation would be a good place to restart the process of providing them with the dignified care they deserve.
Reason #1. So they don't become afraid or unwilling to leave home The most basic premise we should work with when considering how to help the
elderly best is to insure that they are not "shut ins". How do we get them out? Elderly people tend to be concerned about spending money and, since they generally don't drive, the cost of riding the bus could really discourage them from going out. Once they are out and about they feel like they are living and look forward to life's experiences.
Providing Seniors with free public transportation could actually entice them to go out and be more active.
Reason #2. Minimal Income Another reason for providing free transportation to the elderly is the fact that many seniors have minimal incomes and simply can't pay for transportation.There is an assumption that seniors have pensions and savings accounts
which provides them with all their needs, but is simply not the case.Many seniors have worked all their lives do not retire with significant funds. We owe it to them to "treat" them to these rides to ease their financial burden after their decades of hard work and paying taxes. Reason #3.
