This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Aged-based transport fares are not set by the UK Government. Train fares are set by train operating companies.

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require all operators to offer child fares or child tickets for anyone under 18.

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