Nothing is free in this world, No matter how old you are.
The journey is not logged, when people scan their pass it could be for just one stop or Bob and his "career" going all the way to Hastings.
Furthermore users have paid with their taxes for the best part of 40/50 years to get this concession, so not a freebie.
