Scotland's unions and environmental groups call for permanent removal of peak rail fares on ScotRail, citing benefits for climate and economy.
Scotland's unions and environmental groups are urging the government to make permanent the trial of removing peak rail fares on ScotRail. The pilot program, initially planned to end in spring, has been extended to June 28, with unions claiming that peak fares are an "unfair tax on workers" and act as a barrier to rail travel. The group argues that making the pilot permanent would benefit both climate change efforts and the economy.
