Petition Make all public transport the responsibility of UK Government and reduce costs.

Climate change is a global emergency. There is no hope of limiting warming to less than two degrees without the UK achieving zero emissions. This means significantly reducing the cost of all public transport, or making it free, which can only be done if UK Government is responsible for it.
