Asylum Seekers’ Taxi Rides Get the Axe

From February, it’s public transport only unless you’ve got a serious health need. The move comes after the Home Office admitted to dropping £15.8 million a year on these rides. Critics say it’s more about bad contracts than people gaming the system. What do you think: smart savings or unfair squeeze? #Transportation #AsylumSeekers #UKNews
