JUST imagine if you were driving along and your car were to be impounded through no fault of your own. Most drivers, if deprived of their transport in this manner, would understandably be furious.
York pensioner May O'Sullivan doesn't travel by car, preferring to use the bus. Yet a First York inspector left her without the means to travel when he confiscated her bus pass on a technicality. Mrs O'Sullivan was left with a single ticket home and a ten-day wait before she got back her pass.
First York has since apologised, to which we can only add the thought: about time too.
