recently, a note to the public Wang Wenhu's hands, he sued the Ji'nan bus general company has been two or three months, the mediation is not, and finally a court case. The reason why Wang Wenhu sued the bus company was that he was asked to pay insurance when he took the old age free card. He believes that buying insurance should not be mandatory, nor should the elderly pay their own money.
