A chara, – The halving of public transport fares for 19- to 23-year-olds announced in Budget 2022 follows a trend that has long been the norm across the UK. Northern Ireland offers “yLink cards” which reduce bus and rail fares for 16- to 23-year-olds by a third. Britain offers similarly reduced fares on many coaches until the age of 26 and on trains until the age of 30. – Is mise,
