Free ride


In todays Australian newspaper there is a cute story from Britain about a bus riding pussy cat. Evidently Casper the cat had for months been lining up at the bus stop near his home every day to get on board and spend the day riding around. He became such a regular and popular traveller on the 18km round trip to the centre of Plymouth that the drivers all knew which stop he used and would ask departing passengers to carry him off at the end of the day. The next day there he would be again waiting patiently in the queue although he does have a preference for First buses rather that Citybus. His owner only found out when she followed him one morning to find out where he disappeared to each day.

The bus company said they don't mind carrying Casper and as he's approx 12years old in cat years he's a pensioner so he'd get a free bus pass.
