This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Free travel for students is one of the most frequent petitions to the Department for Transport (see, for example, http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/2355). We reject duplicate petitions so that signatures are concentrated on those already submitted, rather than spread thinly over several. If you want to set up a petition of your own, it will need to call for something distinctive that other petitions haven't asked for (the search facility on the e-petitions website isn't the greatest in the world, but with some ingenuity you should be able to work out what's already on there).

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