  This is nothing new, Job seekers sent on interviews have always been allowed to claim expenses under the Travel to Interview Scheme,
  
  From the website, "Jobcentre Plus can help you to get to your job interview and provide a tax-free payment for parents bringing up children alone. Find out more, including how to apply."
  
  That scheme has now closed and obviously this is a replacement but it will not produce a single vacancy, and, Transdev will probably not be paying for it out of their pockets, they will be adjusting their prices and claiming a tax deduction and grants to maintain profitability.
  
  Also, consider this, a bus pass to get to interviews is worthless if there are no buses to take you there anyway.

  With that last point I agree, buses are a bit crap nowadays, however, I pay a fair amount for buses in a month, why should I pay so much when the jobless pay nothing??"
