Greens propose new rail card to cut fares
The Scottish Greens have vowed to reduce the cost of train travel (PA)
The Scottish Greens have pledged to introduce a rail card to bring down the cost of train fares.
Co-leader Patrick Harvie launched the policy at Partick railway station in Glasgow on Thursday.
The party said the railcard will be modelled on the Network Rail card used in the south east of England.
At their manifesto launch last week, the Greens set out a number of measures aimed at making public transport more appealing than travel by car, including free bus travel for those aged 26 and under.
The party’s manifesto calls for 60,000 new homes to be built, of which 40,000 should be available for social rent.
The party says about 100 homeless applications are made every day in Scotland, with around 150,000 people on council housing waiting lists.
The latest figures show 216 people registered as homeless died during 2019, an increase of 11% and three times the rate of the rest of the UK.
Mr Rennie said: “Whether it’s living on the streets, sofa-surfing or shuttling between temporary accommodation, these situations take a huge toll on people’s mental and physical health.
“It also exerts a huge toll on children’s education and development. It stops people getting on in life.
