This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Responsibility for local public transport is devolved to local councils or Mayors, and national public transport is the responsibility of individual transport operators, not the Government or Parliament. Public amenities are a a matter for individual local authorities, and commercial organisations are responsible for any amenities they provide.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to work with local authorities and transport providers to provide people with hand sanitiser and Personal Protective Equipment.
