Rejected petition Let Under 18 Year Olds Pay For Child Tickets On Public Transport

Under 18 year olds have to pay for adult fees on public transport which is unfair when, in the eyes of the law, they are still seen as children. For this reason, the government should either let under 18s pay for child tickets, or raise their minimum wages to match 18 year olds.
