Sir – Colin Smith is completely correct in his analysis of the mysterious way the over 60s bus pass is handled in Oxford compared to London and elsewhere (Letters, June 17).

Moreover, if you complain in Oxford that you have been issued with an incorrect ticket, the driver will probably give you another one, and even a third if that is wrong too, but then surely the council is being charged for two or three journeys instead of one?

“Well, you’re not paying”, the drivers say. So that’s OK then.
