Hundreds of unemployed Kingston residents will get half-price bus and tram travel from April. The concession, which will benefit many of the 1,421 residents in Kingston currently receiving Job Seeker's Allowance, is designed to help people back to work by making it easier to travel to interviews, and access libraries, job centres, and other amenities.
The scheme was announced today as part of Mayor of London, Boris Johnson’s Economic Recovery Action Plan.
