But why should the ones who do use the bus pass be better of than the ones
that don't

because OAPs who use the bus pass tends to based upon need.

And the current system makes them better off at no cost to the people who
choose not to use their pass

or can't get on a bus? What about pensioners who are too disabled to get on
a bus at all?

That's a different problem

Like I say, the system is discriminatory

In what way?

and wasteful.

just like all social benefits, if it doesn't match your political view of
"need" it can be shown to be wasteful.
