There's an assumption that prices for electric cars will come down, and they may do, but will have to come down a lot to be affordable to lower paid workers. And then presumably there'll need to be huge infrastructure investment in charging points - are they going to put them outside every home? Maybe I'm sceptical but time will tell I guess.

Means testing ENCTS is one idea, as always pros and cons; the cons being the administrative costs of running a means tested systems, and for those that come fractionally above the limit will not get a free pass, but someone else whose income is a few quid a year less, get unlimited free travel potential worth thousands of pounds.

I cant see anything being changed about the free passes, just that in my opinion no one should complain if a small amount per journey was charged, especially if the proceeds of which went back into subsidising lesser used buses / evening or sunday buses in their local area.
