Default if you are over 65...

In Denmark in 2003 you used to get a reduced fare (50% ?) on public
transport, and free or reduced entrance to museums and sites.

In Italy one can apply for a reduced fare on public transport, depending
on the place, based on age and income. For instance anybody over 65 can
get unlimited PT in entire Lombardy for 699 eur/year (vs more than 1000
eur for anybody else, but disabled which pay 80 or 10 eur/year according
to disability irrespective of age but with some income limitation). In
Milan the yearly PT card for aged people is 300 eur/year instead of 330
(but 200 if one is over 65 and has a "normalized income" between 16000
and 20000 eur, and 10 eur for 4 years if the income is below 16000 per
year).

On the other way Prime Minister Renzi has suppressed the free entrance
to state museums for aged people to give it to youngsters between 18 and
25.
