Police getting on buses

[E400]

RE: Police getting on buses
Merseyside Police and Merseytravel have an agreement whereby warranted Police officers can travel on public transport for free, whether on duty or not. They use their warrant card as a bus pass essentially. It's partly to give something back to the officers for their public service, and partly as security for the bus, train or ferry that they're travelling on, as it's illegal for a warranted officer to ignore illegal activity even when off duty.
