Rejected petition Allow OAP free travel home if they lose their freedom pass while out.

Pensioners find themselves stranded when using public transport if they lose their freedom pass while travelling. They cannot use cash on buses. Carrying contactless cards is not an option because many elderly get confused and inadvertently get wrongly charged for unintentional contactless payment

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Freedom Pass is run by London Councils, not the UK Government or Parliament.
