I like semantic misunderstanding jokes.davenn said:
According to the recording on our public transport if you let the driver know seniors ride free on Wednesdays you ride for free. Actual wording is "seniors ride free on Wednesdays. Let the driver know and you ride for free."
Sounds like a bad deal for seniors who can only ride free on Wednesdays.
The burden of context for an analytical brain lol

They can tell the driver about that rule every day, too.nitsuj said:

The first rule doesn't say anything about seniors on other weekdays. On Wednesday the seniors can board the bus/train using the first rule, on other days they tell the driver about the first rule and board it using the second rule.
Or do it like Luxembourg...

Alright, but i really feel you just being a less strict bus driver :D My interpretation is if seniors can ride free on Wednesdays, implicitly they cannot on the other days. If I were a bus operator I would feel bound to restrict those seniors being able to ride free only on wednesday. Which is what rule one says. Seniors ride free on wednesdays. So if a non senior mentions the rule they can ride free, with no restrictions.mfb said:
So you're saying it comes down to seniors, who on Wednesday have the benefit of not having to mention the Wednesday rule. I see rule two makes it a requirement.
regarding Luxembourg. I think a few candidates for a recent municipal election (our public transit is municipal gov) used free public transport as a hook. It's not wildly off for the city in spirit, Ottawa Canada.

If we go by implications and how the rule is meant then you can never ride the bus free via "the second rule" because there is no such thing. A strictly literal interpretation is the only thing that makes more free rides possible. A strictly literal interpretation allows seniors to have free rides on every day.

As a person of advanced years I am concerned about this apparent demand I travel somewhere every day and that has to be by bus! Couldn't I just stay at home trying to make up lame jokes?
