Rejected petition Allow students to travel on public transport services for a child's price.
Over the past years it has become apparent that public transport services are becoming more and more expensive. This may not be seen as a problem, but for students it is a dilemma.
More details
As a student myself I have to pay very high fees to travel to and from college, but because I am sixteen I am expected to pay an adult fee. In response to this issue I am making this petition to get students the justice they deserve.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Setting the price of student travel fares, and deciding how they relate to child fares, is the responsibility of transport operating companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
