Rejected petition Stop transport companies charging students/apprentices full adult fares

People in full time education/ apprenticeships are being charged the same fare as an adult while only having a fraction of income! While most students are given discounts, people are still struggling to afford transport to and from their place of work/education. The government needs to step in.
