Rejected on
We would like all Key Workers that are required to travel to work by public transport to have free travel during the COVID-19 crisis.
Key Workers are the backbone of the health and social care services (Ambulance Service, Allied Health Professionals, Social workers and others). We should be granted free travel to and from work on public transport.
