This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition stop all travel companies and others charging children adult prices when the legal adult age is 18
More details
Why should children when told by the government it is law that for them to do certain things such as drink, buy tobacco or even view certain films, because they are not at the legal age of 18 / titled adults; they pay adult prices on bus companies (14) train companies (16). It is bad enough that the both the bus and train industry have increased ticket pricing massively in the past 3 years (example. Child return on a train used to be 1.35 now to the same destination it is 1.70 and probably more in the near future) it is to harsh for prices such as these to be set on students who make poor amount of money through part time jobs etc. I am not saying to lower the prices but please charge ticket types appropriately!
