They're offering a cheaper ticket for a particular age range... if you want to take advantage of it you need to prove you fit the criteria. I'm sure they gave several different option to do this in the bumff I was reading. Also as for carrying a passport around when i was young my mate used to have to carry theirs with them down the big market to get into bars.......... which i would say is a lot more risky of losing it than showing it to a bus driver when your sober! And to my knowledge no one ever did lose one
I applied for my provisional driving licence as soon as I could. It was an age-related "milestone" thing for me. Since turning 18, I've used it to prove my ID for shops, bars, etc. I've not lost it yet (touch wood!)
The young peoples' research carried out indicated that the majority of people in this age category carry either a provisional driving licence, passport or railcard, when they know they need to prove their age.
