Rejected petition 10,000 to sign to make public travel free for under 18's

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Several petitions have been put down over the past few months, calling for free travel for those under 18 years of age. Incidentally, if the aim of this petition is to get a debate in the House of Commons, the petitioner will want to note that the threshold is ten times larger than the 10,000 it calls for.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
