The elderly should receive free bus rides. While some people believe they should have to pay like everybody else‚ I strongly support this because they have already served our communities so now the community and society should serve them. The first reason I have to support my opinion is when they were younger they had jobs‚ paid taxes and they shouldn’t have to pay for a bus ride.

I believe that elderly people should get free bus rides because most elderly people either cannot‚ or should not‚ be driving. I believe that getting elderly people off of the road will make the roads much safer. This is also another way to keep elderly people out of car accidents. When the elderly lose their license because there body does not respond as quick as it used to‚ how else are they supposed to get around?

My initial reaction while reading this passage was no she should not be aloud to ride on the bus. I thought this because if I was on the bus I would not want to sit next to someone who had poison on them. I also think it is a health hazard for not only the person chained to the box of poison but also to the rest of the passengers on the bus. On the other hand doesn’t the person with the poison have just as much right to sit on the bus as the person sitting next to her or a few seats away? I think
