ID card travel on first bus
I use public transport to travel to and from work, I have always been allowed on the bus by showing the driver my ID card, today a driver said this agreement has now stopped, only happened a few days ago and all posties should have been told by management, I wasn't told has anyone else been told about this?

Royal Mail have stopped paying for the travel with First, there was an account but RM have decided to withdraw it, Also it wasnt supposed to be used for travel to and from work, it was only supposed to be used whilst on delivery, ie to and from start and finish of run, our office was told last week that it had been withdrawn.

I thought this stopped years ago?
If coming back from delivery, save your bus ticket and claim it back
I was shocked when the bus driver said £2:80p for a 4 mile trip, I handed him 80p and he said no £2:80p

Re: ID card travel on first bus
We are getting delayed free travel on buses in Huddersfield. Daily bus fares are around £3 - £5.00 (return daily), but First do a local weekly Rover costing £12.
SO RM agreed we could get the rovers and the claim retrospectively, ensuring free travel for the whole week.
