Rejected petition Make Santander cycles free to the public/workers for safe transport to work

Rejected on 17 April 2020

Make them free during the crisis so whoever needs to transport will do so in a safe way rather than using public transports.

We need to minimize use of public transport in London as soon much as possible, which funciton as hot spots for transmition and contagion. Especially healthcare professionals that need to get to work have to be given the option of safe transport
