Rejected petition extension of freedom bus pass because of extended school leaving age

More details

Due to the government extending school leaving age, the freedom bus pass stops at year, so parents have to pay £520 a year rather then £100. Even if you are on benefits, the minimum you pay is £260 and this is in a lump sum. I propose an extension until pupils are legal allowed to leave school or compulsory training.
