AS A senior citizen, I travel from Kidlington on the local buses.

However, on two occasions recently, while traveling on Stagecoach buses to Cutteslowe and Summertown, I have been given tickets to Oxford city centre – despite specifying my destination.

I have pointed this out to the drivers who did not seem interested.

If this is standard practice, then it would appear that the taxpayers of Oxford are being taken for the proverbial ride.
