Rejected petition Free Fares For Zip Card Users at Peak Times For School Commute on the Tube

We are a group of four boys who attend a school in North London. We often get the tube to and from school, and we believe that tube fares should be reduced or eliminated for school commutes - this is a journey we have to make, and is an expense not every pupil can afford to make.

More details

As another alternative, there could be an incentive scheme, whereby child commuters who make the journey a certain amount of times consistently get a reduced or eliminated fare for the tube.
