Across the western world, elderly benefits increasingly outstrip the growth young workers paying taxes for their benefits are able to eke out. I do not think they need free taxis as well.

For UK in particular look up triple lock pension.

London also has the highest number of non-citizens staying in four star hotels on the tax payers dime.

I think the elderly former tax payers can have all the taxi vouchers they can reasonably use.

They just need to mutter “asylum seeker” occasionally.
