Rejected petition Free public transport for people in full time education.

Nowadays transport is very expensive, and education is also very expensive, so the government should compensate for this by providing free public transport for those in full-time education.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The issue you raise is the responsibility of local train and bus companies, and not of the UK Government or Parliament.

While the Government cannot set the price of travel on public transport, it could offer subsidies to those in full time education to help toward the cost. You may wish to sign this petition:
