Rejected petition Free travel for full time students, in university for example.
I am a university student, we already have expenses like clothes, food, books, laptops, phone bills and etc. We don't have a maintenance grant anymore it's a loan, that we are using to fund these things. Thus we shouldn't worry about travel expenses too. Thousands of students travel everyday.
More details
Just in case you didn't know there are people/businesses that are promoting deals for students who want to travel. Travelling to university is important and we need to make it free as we are already paying a unreasonable amount for our education. This will be a burden off our shoulders and we will thank the government for consideration and approving it. The reason why I say for full time students, is because these students don't usually have time to work and so can't fund their travel.

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 in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. The Government isn't directly responsible for the costs of bus and train travel. You could start a petition calling on the Government to provide funding for a free travel card for students.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
