- today I met an elderly woman at the bus stop in Lyngby.
She was obviously a little brain damage, but she could easily take the bus with his pensionistkort.
- When she saw the ticket on my mobile she said: 'What is it?'.
I explained to her that it was my ticket, and was on the phone. It is understood she did not, so she repeated, 'What is it?'.
- I am pretty sure that this woman and many others like her are being isolated for the summer, if pensionistkortet of the cardboard disappear.
so begins Ida H a letter to the nation! on the pensionistkort Movia, DSB and the chinese president would drop and replace with the travel card. Ida fears that the likely price increases and, not least, the digital challenges will isolate the elderly and vulnerable in their homes because they cannot afford to all the intimate and spontaneous trips. her letter - she hoped that the governors in Movia, DSB and metrosleksbate want to read - continues namely as follows:
- Others may want to be able to use rejsekortet, but they will not be able to figure out how expensive it will become, and all of a sudden they get a huge bill.
Their lives will be destroyed, and it is that surely no one wants that.
My suggestion is that you under no circumstances remove pensionistkortet, and one must also not touch the physical papkort, writes Ida, who suggests Movia, DSB and chinese president - instead of bothering the pensioners - could consider to strip folketingspolitikerne their 'mimrekort', because they're all running free.
At Politiken.dk is also there a huge outcry over mimrekortets death - and Anne-Marie K has got 30 likes for this text:
- Now, citizens in this age group, which often is not digitally self-propelled, to find out that the tanks rejsekortet up.
- Have you not a computer, it requires access to the physical store, which can be far away, and you must remember to activate the card.
- And then you remember to check in and out. Not always easy - not for us.
- the Elderly often have more trouble remembering, so who's going mon to pay lots of fines for forgetting to check in and out?
- How many forget the mon to keep an eye on whether there is money on the card? How many older people lose mon card in the congestion in the bus - it can be difficult to hold on to, since it is small and smooth?
- the Alternative is to buy tickets every time - but it is significantly more expensive, and requires an overview of how far you must - and at train stations, it requires a (working) ticket machine, as many older people will also have problems with to operate.
- I don't want to hear at the usual hylekor that many older people to shame doing the kind of fine. It is irrelevant - what is relevant is that there are also many older people who do NOT do - and now you have looked at another area tvangsdigitaliseret them, and made their lives more difficult and more expensive, writes Anne-Marie K, and the nation! have asked Movia, what needs to be done to change the decision, and received this reply:
- IN the DOT, we are committed to live up to the law. The law says that we must harmonise our rates, also pensionistpriserne, and a great many pensioners have unfortunately not the possibility to get the rates today.
- at the same time, we have only the money we have – the total discount to pensioners should be the same before and after the reform.
Within the framework, we have worked hard to find the least bad solution.
- we do It knowing that there are some pensioners, who today get very high rates – some up to 90 per cent.
- They of course get less in rates in the future, because we're going to give 40 per cent. discount for all, so that more pensioners could get the benefit of pensionistrabatten than is the case today, writes the spokesman for the DOT, ressourcedirektør Eskil Thuesen, but what do you say?
