Old Folks "Tales" Continued

As if on cue, this letter, Why so cold to the old? was published in the NST today.

Weekends knows of a some what similar case with another rail transport company, Putra LRT. A few years back it introduced concessionary cards for senior citizens. Very noble but, as always, economic reason saw the withdrawal of the concession. It seemed that the reduction of their overall ticket price structure (they were very high in the first place) did not permit continuation of the concession.

So much for good coporate citizenship.
