Social contest in Oostende

The Belgian train company NMBS want to cancel the senior ticket. The senior ticket cost nowadays 8,30 euro. With this ticket  a 65 plus person can travel anywhere (2ways) in Belgium after 9 am . After summer 25 they want to cancel this ticket and one can travel  with discount of 40 perc on anny ticket. For some coming from far away, and travelling to the coast , it will be expensive. I feel they will loose some clientele and more compartiments will be empty. Not a good evolution.
