Rejected petition Raising the Participation Age Unfair Bus Fares

More details

The government orders students to stay in school extra year, but bus companies unfairly charge full adult commercial rates for students causing massive hardship for many families. They are cashing in on government policy. Parents have no choice but to send children to school or training, yet have to pay full fares for someone not earning.
