Rejected petition Abolish public transport costs for students 18+

There are financially deprived students who are discouraged from attending University. Abolishing public transport costs could save a student lots of money for necessary equipment; books, stationery. This will also decrease the number of students boarding trains with invalid tickets due to no money.
